Dr Onyx Tonic Wax Platinum Whisky
Each 500ml spirit lid is manually dipped in wax with a silver foil swing tag, presented in a hand wax dripped, thick cardboard cylinder box. As each Gift Box is manually waxed, no two boxes are the same, some minor organic imperfections may be visible.Whisky:Distilleries began producing whisky in the late 18th century. The spelling of the term Whisky alters by country, Scottish, English, Welsh, and Canadian whiskies use Whisky, while the Irish use Whiskey. Scottish Whisky must be aged in oak barrels for a minimum of three years, where it is known as the spirit of the Gods. This might explain the Angels Tax, used to describe the amount of whisky lost each year to evaporation during the ageing process. They must be happy little Angels over Scotland. With more than 30 bottles of whisky exported from Scotland each second, theres clearly enough left over for the rest of us whisky lovers. Dr Onyx Just Whisky is the best tonic for those in need of a moment or two of quiet reflection.Serving Suggestions:Serve neat, over ice, with a little water or mixer such as dry ginger ale.
