If Men in Kilts has inspired you to start trying out whisky, we have some great tools to help you get started.
Check out the six products to help you get started on your whisky journey.
1. On The Rocks Set; $36
When it comes to drinking whisky, you’ll need an excellent tumbler to hold the liquid. Also, some people drink it on ice or whisky stones. These stones are hand-crafted in New England by Arra David and Anne Johnson. Some people prefer stones over ice, so the whisky isn’t diluted. This set comes with two tumblers, six stones, and a handmade tray so you can sit back in front of the fire and enjoy your drink.
