From whisky to gin, cocktails and coffee - there's Halloween drinks for all tastes this month, and beyond.
Picture: The Glenrothes
For the second year in a row, The Glenrothes has revealed its peated, 13 Year Old Halloween Edition 2019 whisky.
Matured in both sherry and bourbon seasoned casks, the Halloween whisky is finished in peated casks and bottled at natural colour.
The resulting single malt has distinct aromas of wood smoke and creamy vanilla, and offers a taste of orange peel and light peat. The flavour lingers for a sweet and smoky aftertaste.
The 70cl bottle is available for shipment to selected regions and priced at £65 plus postage.

This seasonal spiced gin not only includes a classic spice mix during distillation, but also pumpkin seeds to add a nutty, pumpkin pie note.
Bottled at 46% ABV, it's a warming addition (in more ways than one) to Halloween themed cocktails or for a G&T with a difference.
Priced at £32.25, the pumpkin spice gin is available to buy online at Master of Malt.

The original and, some say, the best autumnal drink has to be Starbuck's Pumpkin Spice latte (PSL), which arrived back in stores in September.
The popular drink is a warming combination of Starbucks espresso, pumpkin flavoured sauce and steamed milk, topped with whipped cream, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
This year also sees a cold brew PSL and a vegan-friendly option. Prices start at £3.15 and the Pumpkin Spice latte will be in stores until the Christmas drinks launch.
