Summerton Whisky Club
The Summerton Whisky Club is the UK’s most popular whisky subscription, and it’s easy to see why. As a member, you’re not just getting a tasting sample—you’re getting full-sized, 70cl bottles of carefully selected whisky delivered every other month. This sets Summerton apart, making it a fantastic choice for those who prefer a substantial pour rather than a sample.
Membership also includes exclusive perks like access to members-only content and special discounts in their online shop. It’s a brilliant gift for anyone eager to discover new drams on a regular basis or for treating yourself to something special. At £60 every other month, Summerton brings the experience of top-quality whisky directly to your door.
