It’s almost the end of summer, and it’s time to end it with a bang. These whiskies are the perfect way to toast the end of the season with your personalized whiskey glasses , and there’s quite a variety among them. From a whiskey reminiscent of cakes to a throwback to whiskies of the 1800s, there is plenty to choose from to see you through the end of the warm months.  Glenmorangie A Tale of Cake First, to truly toast away summer, try a single malt first aged in ex-bourbon casks before it finishes maturing in ex-Tokaji wine casks. The Hungarian dessert wine is made using noble rot grapes, which impart a sweet, honeyed flavor. It has notes of toasted malt, Granny Smith apples, cinnamon, and honey. A tartness and spiciness help the dram from being overly sweet. Serve it with a slice of cake after dinner in engraved glasses with a custom logo and bid farewell to summer.

However, the Scotch Whisky Association deemed it unlawful, threatening legal action against Compass, which pulled The Spice Tree off shelves. While a new, SWA-approved expression with specially made casks appeared in 2006, finding the original expression can spice up your custom engrav...
