UK-based Gravity Drinks is extending its Whisky Tour series for whiskey lovers with A Whiskey Tour of America, a tasting gift set that gathers 24 U.S. whiskeys from distilleries across the country. The lineup moves beyond Kentucky and Tennessee, giving drinkers a broader look at bourbon, rye and other domestic styles.
Each pour comes in a 50ml bottle inside a handmade wooden cabinet styled like a back-bar, and the center section holds two engraved tumblers for serving. An illustrated guidebook adds producer backgrounds, tasting notes and production details. The set is priced at £219.95 and sold through Hard to Find Whisky and Costco.
The handmade cabinet and guidebook turn the pack into a reusable tasting object that stays useful after the bottles are opened. Availability through Hard to Find Whisky and Costco widens access for gift buyers and turns whiskey curation into a more display-led purchase.
