"The Glenlivet 12YO. It's hard to beat a single malt at this time of year, and The Glenlivet is a perfectly-balanced example from Speyside. A great winter warmer."
Alan Jepsen, Liquorland Beer Category Manager
"McLeod's Traders Scotch Ale. This is a unique Scotch ale with rich caramel malts and hints of dried fruits. Don't be afraid of the abv (7.2%). This one is a sipper, best enjoyed at the end of the night in place of a Tawny."
Sharon Wiggins, Liquorland Taupo
"Madam Sass Pinot Noir. What better way to enjoy winter than to sit in front of the fire with a nice glass of Pinot Noir? A great drop for a great price at $24.99."
Andrew Barr, Liquorland Southgate
"Glendronach 12 YO Single Malt Whisky. This is an outstanding malt barrel Scotch Whisky, aged in Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez casks. It's rich and nutty, and the depth of flavour really takes you places."
Joss Granger, Liquorland Howick
"Rockburn Pinot Noir. This wine consistently delivers on that beautiful juicy Pinot Noir taste. Perfect for winter."
Chris Hart, Liquorland Anderson's Bay
"Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whisky. Nothing beats a Jack Daniels in a tall glass with lots of ice and ginger beer to warm the cockles. It's so refreshing!"
