Love Scottish food and drink and looking to treat yourself or your friends to the best produce that Scotland has to offer or perhaps even just a taste of home? We've teamed up with Fine Scottish Hampers to create five hampers showcasing some of the most luxurious Scottish food and drink available.

1. The Smokehouse hamper 

This hamper brings together four packs of exceptional meat and fish from some of the most respected Scottish smokehouses: St. James Whisky & Honey Salmon and Scotch Reserve Smoked Salmon – both award winning – plus luxurious Cold Smoked beef and Wild Scottish Smoked Venison.

Accompanying this treasure trove of meats is a series of perfectly chosen accompaniments: Smoked Cheese from The Island of Arran, jars of pickle and Inverness Sauce, and Duncan’s own Family Recipe Oatcakes. All in all, a heartily packaged hamper for one who looks for satisfaction, not just sustenance, in their Scottish meal.

2. The whisky savour hamper

This whisky hamper contains more than just the one way to enjoy that surprising and distinct taste. There's whisky in the form of cider and the classic Johnny Walker Black Label to drink, but why stop there?  The Whisky Marmalade on your toast can be enlivened by a shot of whisky, as can a moist steak with the aid of a great Scotch Whisky Sauce.  After that you can sit down to some classic sweet Whisky Cake, steeped in the authentic taste that we all know and love, the ideal end to an excellent day of the very best delicacies from Scotland.

3. A haggis supper for two hamper 

Enjoy a cosy night in for two the Scottish way with this delicious haggis hamper. Including the classic Traditional Haggis along with the superb Stahlys Vegetarian Haggis (so no one is left out), this hamper provides everything you need for the perfect haggis Scottish supper. We have of course added a few drams of quality Scotch Whisky via miniature bottles of both a Glenfiddich 12 Year Old and The Macallan Gold. To help complement the haggis there's also some gorgeous Scotch Whisky Sauce and handmade Traditional Fife-Cut Handmade Oatcakes. To finish up there's a Clootie Dumpling with Butterscotch Sauce with brilliant handmade Scottish Berry Chocolates by Brodies of Edinburgh…Yes please.

This Cheese & Mustard collection is a magical snack-pack hamper that can replace a lingering hunger with a supreme sense of satisfaction. Turn someone’s simple snack or after dinner thought into a tasty bite-sized feast very much worth celebrating.

This basket collection of fine Island of Arran Smoked Cheese and its corresponding famous Arran Mustard blends brilliantly with a Henshelwood’s Cardamon Mustard and their famous Chutney for Cheese made by hand on Scotland's Isle of Bute. Lastly to finish off this classic hamper there is a pack of traditionally Handmade Oatcakes, and a lovely bottle of  Carse o’Gowrie Apple Juice to wash it all down.
