Get into the Christmas spirits: Gift ideas for the spirits and wine lover
There are only a few more sleeps left to Christmas, and if you still haven’t gotten around to getting gifts for your loved ones, then you need to get going now!

If you are looking for a gift for someone who likes some spirits in his Christmas spirit, then here are some good suggestions of spirits and wines to get for them.

Tell it with Martell

In case you haven’t heard, Martell is celebrating its 130th year in Malaysia with an elaborate pop-up at Pavilion Bukit Jalil from now until Dec 31.

Besides the chance to see a RM5mil bottle of cognac, you can also purchase limited edition bottles there commemorating the anniversary.

For this Christmas season, however, we recommend the limited edition Martell Cordon Bleu Cognac Gift Set by Christoph Niemann. It’s a stunningly artistic design that adds a further dash of festive cheer to not only the Christmas season, but all the way until Chinese NEw Year as well!

There are also other limited editions such as one for the Martell Noblige, which is Martell's contemporary response to a discerning, more youthful audience in search of disruptively elegant spirits; and a vibrant one for Martell VSOP, a tribute to Martell's long standing savoir-faire, with a design inspired by Pop Art influences.

RSVP for the Pop-up experience now with the Martell Swift Concierge at 130years.martell.com.

Bag a whisky

Ever wanted a bag to help carry your bottle of whisky to parties or on your holidays? Well, The Singleton of Glen Ord has released not one, but two options for you!

During this festive season, you can get a bottle of The Singleton 12 Year Old that comes with a cooler bag that will keep your whisky safe, and is also reusable for any bottle that fits, ensuring your favourite drinks are chilled throughout your festive gatherings.

If you need something a little bigger, then check out The Singleton of Glen Ord 15 Year Old, which comes with a teal-coloured caddy bag with convenient cup holder slots, making it easy for you to bring your whisky party anywhere.

The Diageo Festive offerings are available on Diageo Malaysia’s Official Shopee Store.

Champagne hotel stay

Why settle for a normal staycation when you can have a champagne-themed one?

Iconic champagne house Moët & Chandon recently unveiled a limited-edition bottle designed to brighten your festive season, and has collaborated with W Kuala Lumpur to transform it into a celebration haven.

Under W Hotel Kuala Lumpur’s Sparkle All The Way room packages, guests can enjoy a lavish, luxurious stay in uniquely themed Moet & Chandon suites, which come in three different room sizes (Cool Corner, Spectacular Room, or Marvellous Suite).

Each room package includes daily breakfast, in-room balloon arrangements, Moët & Chandon luxurious & plush bathrobes and Christmas hamper, and bespoke amenities featuring a flower bouquet & macarons. Those who stay in the Spectacular Room or Marvellous Suite even get a personalised bottle of Moët & Chandon.

Each room package includes daily breakfast and in-room balloon arrangements, among other perks.

Beyond the rooms, a pop-up experience and installations on Level 8 of the hotel provide an more extraordinary experiences for the guests, including the very first Moët & Chandon champagne vending machine in a KL hotel

The new limited-edition bottle is designed to celebrate the Champagne region’s unique terroir, and also as a tribute to the Maison’s 280th anniversary.

Adorned in white and gold, with gilded grains ascending towards the heavens, the new limited-edition design graces two expressions in Moët & Chandon’s champagne portfolio: the signature Moët Impérial, and the Moët Rosé Impérial.

If you're planning to book a stay, better do it soon, the package only lasts until the end of December!

JungleBird treats

Have you been invited for a Christmas pot luck but have no idea what to bring? Check out KL bar JungleBird’s newly launched range of festive condiments and accompaniments, perfect for “even the most righteous of feasts, all handmade with love in small batches''.

And since it’s being produced by a bar that is consistently in the Asia’s 50 Best Bars list as well as being famous for being KL’s premier ‘Rumah Rum’ (Rum House), you can expect these seasonal offerings to be a little more, well, spirited than usual.

JungleBird's alcohol-laced festive condiments would make a great addition to any Christmas feast.

The Duck Liver Parfait, for instance, is made with locally sourced duck liver enriched with a spiced Ruby Port & Brandy reduction, topped with an aromatic sage brown butter.

The Festive Preserve is a sweet and tangy fruit jam of cranberries, juicy peaches and fresh citrus peels, steeped in VSOP Rhum Agricole and warm Christmas spices

Last but not least, the Apple And Onion Jam is a chutney of onions and tart granny smith apples slow caramelised in red wine & balsamic vinegar, finished with a Calvados & Cognac glaze.

Gin for the connoisseur

Looking for a premium gift for a gin loving friend? Well, look no further than the award-winning Isle Of Harris Gin, which truly takes the term ‘ultra-premium gin” to another level.

Instantly recognisable by its beautifully iconic glass bottle, Isle Of Harris Gin is entirely handmade on Scotland’s Isle Of Harris.

The gin uses nine premium botanicals, including key botanical Sugar Kelp, a seaweed gathered sustainably by hand from local sea-lochs, which gives the gin a complex, maritime flavour.

Isle Of Harris gin is instantly recognisable by its iconic bottle.

The bottle itself is a true work of art, influenced by the people of the island, the rugged, dramatic location, reflecting the subtle colours of the landscape.

The best part is, you can also get Isle Of Harris in a Highball Gift Box that also comes with two free highball glasses for you to make some beautiful gin and tonics.

You can get the Isle Of Harris Gin gift box as well as other gin gift boxes from Wholly Spirits (@whollyspirits).
