Mature Whisky Mini-Pack at Scotch Whisky Experience
A bottle of his ‘usual’ Scotch is perhaps the archetypal Father’s Day gift. But for

challenge. Keith MacKay of The Scotch Whisky Experience advises buyers to
hedge their bets with a specially selected Whisky mini pack. The ‘mature’ minipack is priced at £38.50, and can be picked up in The Scotch Whisky Experience’s
beautiful Whisky Shop on Castlehill, or ordered online.
