For the gentleman who considers traditional Scotch a bit predictable and rum slightly too pirate-adjacent, Tinner Bros Black Spiced Whisky (£38) arrives to shake up your liquor cabinet. Dark, mysterious, and dripping with bold Cornish character, this potent spirit infuses rich grain whisky with a secret blend of warm spices, dark molasses, and subtle vanilla notes. It drops down the throat with the smoothness of a velvet suit and the kick of a leather boot. Sip it neat over a giant ice sphere or mix it into a highball to instantly elevate yourself to the most intriguing man in the room.
