Whisky is made to be opened, to be drunk and to be shared with friends. Any system, company or product that makes this happen more often is to be lauded and celebrated. Summerton Whisky Club is a membership club that sends its members a hand selected bottle every two months for the same incredibly reasonable price of £59.95. Real Dram Tom has been a member for a good period now and has been effusive in his praise for them.

The middle is both jammy and has a building hot ginger spice.
The final notes are minty, like peppermint, but also have a dark, aromatic star anise like quality.
