Valentine’s Day Spirits To Gift (And A Free Engraving Offer) Part 1

Our gift guide has you covered if you’re looking to raise a glass this Valentine’s Day  whether you’re planning a cosy night in, a candlelit dinner, or simply want to surprise someone with a bottle that feels genuinely special.

From a raspberry-kissed French aperitif to a boundary-pushing English blended malt, plus a floral mezcal for adventurous palates and a rare Irish pot still whiskey steeped in history, these are four standout bottles worth wrapping up this February. And with complimentary engraving available for a limited time, you can make it personal too.

Here are the bottles to know.

Jean-Luc Pasquet Marie-Framboise 

What: Flamboyant, expressive and unmistakably romantic, Marie-Framboise is the kind of aperitif that instantly feels like a Valentine’s Day win. Crafted by Jean-Luc Pasquet — a family-run estate known for its terroir-led approach — this vibrant bottle blends eaux-de-vie, unfermented grape juice and fresh raspberries for a fruit-forward sip that’s delicately balanced rather than overly sweet. With Jean-Luc Pasquet also crowned winner of The Whisky Exchange Rising Star Award 2023, this is a bottle that feels both joyful and seriously well-made.

The Heart Cut x Barley English Blended Malt Whisky 

What: A celebration of the modern English whisky scene, The Heart Cut x Barley blends single malts from five English distilleries, creating a contemporary style that’s soft, welcoming and full of character.Made by independent bottler The Heart Cut (named The Whisky Exchange’s Producer of the Year 2026), this is a bottle that delivers comfort in every sip — think strawberry jam, vanilla cream, cinnamon buns, fresh raspberries and orange blossom. It’s ideal neat, but it also shines in a shared serve — especially as a Valentine’s Day Old Fashioned for two.

Noble Coyote Espadín-Capón Mezcal 

What: If you’re shopping for someone who likes their spirits with a story (and a little bite), Noble Coyote is a memorable pick. Inspired by the Hispanic legend of the amorphous coyote, this mezcal is floral, intriguing and unapologetically bold.Made in San Luis Amatlán, Oaxaca, it uses agave plants with capado — where the flowering stalk is cut at peak maturity — resulting in a mezcal layered with wood, tangerine peel, lemongrass and anise. The finish is perfumed, peppery, and seriously moreish.

Boann 2021 4 Year Old Oloroso Cask 

What: For the whisky lover who appreciates provenance, craft and a touch of history, this Boann release is a standout. Created under the guidance of leading whisky historian Fionnan O’Connor, it’s built on a historic 19th-century formula, revived for modern drinkers with a deep respect for tradition. Matured in an oloroso hogshead, it unfolds with notes of orange peel, pear drops and soda bread, followed by hints of orange blossom, then a richer wave of pineapple and ginger biscuits. Complex, distinctive and beautifully structured, it’s the kind of bottle that feels like an occasion all on its own.
