It’s A Wonderful Life

George Bailey is a troubled soul. In deep despair, fate intervenes and he ends up rescuing his guardian angel, Clarence. Clarence then shows George what his town would have looked like if it hadn’t been for all his good deeds over the years. For this Christmas classic I’m recommending Aberlour 10-Year-old, the living legacy of James Fleming, who began his whisky distilling project in 1879. Philanthropist Fleming planted deep roots in the local community, building a town hall, a hospital, and a bridge, to name but a few. A generous soul – and an equally beautiful malt to complement the movie’s heart-warming sentiment. Aberlour 10-Year-old, 70cl, ABV 40%, £31.95
