There are days when everything just clicks. Today, for instance, is International Record Day: a day that at first glance has nothing to do with whisky, but Turntable Spirits is changing that with a unique release.

Imagine having a whisky and music lover in your circle. With Turntable whiskies you’ve already got a rock-solid gift, but what if they want a taste first? Turntable Spirits now has just the thing: a perfectly themed tasting kit. Think of it like singles that ultimately convince you to buy the whole album.

Buy the Turntable tasting kit here for just 19 pounds.

A tasting set like an LP

The special Turntable whisky tasting set comes in a square sleeve reminiscent of an LP, with three records inside. Open it up and you won’t pull out vinyl, but something just as exciting for whisky fans: a tasting set featuring three blends.

Inside the package you’ll find these three samples:

Turntable Paradise Funk
Turntable Bittersweet Symphony
Turntable Smokin’ Riff

Each “track” has its own character, just as any great album should and every whisky is bottled at 46% alcohol by volume (ABV).
