Australian whiskey tasting set
$149 per box at Hardtofind
First released in 2016, this is the sixth iteration of White Possum’s trademark whisky-tasting flight, containing 12 samples of Australian whiskies in a matte-black glass sampler bottle, labelled with the distillery, whisky name, and a 14-panel tasting booklet. While not technically a subscription, it’s the ultimate indulgence in Australian craft whisky.
Whisky Flavour subscription

Taste different whiskies through the Whisky Flavour Box, where you’ll receive miniatures of whisky, a Glencairn glass, a cork cup base, marble ice cubes and snacks – depending on stock availability – to enjoy the flavours. It’s an ideal gift for any whisky lovers – or for yourself.
