A pair of classic leather shoes is an ideal, time-tested Christmas gift for a British gent.
But look closely at the stack heels of cobbler Oliver Sweeney's new designs as each one conceals a tiny bottle of Johnnie Walker Red Label Scotch.
The smart Oxford-style shoes are the world's first brogues to hide miniature bottles of whisky and at £295, are the latest designer gift for the man who has everything.

Oliver Sweeney's tan Oxford-style brogues conceal miniature bottles of whisky in suede-lined compartments
There are only 130 pairs made by the British men's footwear and accessories label.
Each pair took two days to make out of calf leather and feature the initials 'JW' stitched on the back of the shoe.
The stitching, the inner sole and the shoes' dust bag is all red to reflect the signature colour of the blend while the leather is tanned the same shade as the Scotch.
Each of the brogues, with their signature hole-punched patterns, feature the iconic Johnnie Walker 'striding man' tattooed directly on to the leather of the heel.
The only suggestion that there's a bottle of the strong stuff hidden in a suede-lined recess in the stacked heel comes from the metal screwtop peeping out of its hidden compartment.
Buyers will also receive a bottle of ginger ale and a recipe card to make the new cocktail Johnnie and Ginger, which combines one part whisky, three parts ginger ale and a wedge of lime over ice
