Whiskey is awesome! Bourbon is the proudest spirit in America. It’s delicious and every bourbon lover must have their favorite bourbon gifts. But not everyone can afford bottles of Eagle Rare or Knob Creek. Over time, even bottles of Maker’s Mark can get expensive. For serious bourbon lovers, the problem is that they don’t want to compromise quality for a lower price. It is entirely justifiable because the quality of a whiskey can often be judged by its price. But not all whiskies are equal. Bottled-in-Bond is arguably the best bourbon for $15.
Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon
This bottle is not confused with the standard Evan Williams bottle (the black label). This bottle is labeled in white and is 100 proof. It is marked “Bottled-in-Bond,” which means it meets strict government standards. Ironically, the United States has the strictest standards for whiskey. The taste is full-bodied. It has the typical bourbon smell and tastes like bourbon.
But the taste is also very similar to that of a traditional bourbon. I love the freshness of freshly baked bread. It can be infused with water and opens up with more toasty oak or dark nuts.
Whiskey Stones
You’ll find great gifts for all budgets, from $20 to $100 for a unique set or piece of art. You’ve probably never heard of whiskey stones. It is an excellent idea for someone who already has everything. Soapstone whiskey stones can be frozen to chill whiskey or other fine spirits to the perfect temperature. The Rocks and Teroforma whiskey stones are available in sets of 9; the Teroforma set comes with a muslin bag for storage. The whiskey stones are the perfect gift for someone special and cost less than $20.
Custom Whiskey Glass
A custom whiskey glass or antique whiskey glass is another great gift idea. There are many options, such as stemmed glasses or flat-bottomed glasses that are old-fashioned. You can also use a swinging glass. Many companies, such as Riedel and Bormioli Rocco, have been making handcrafted glassware for many years.
Whiskey Decanter Set
You can give the Stolzle Glencairn whiskey glass in a gift box perfect for birthday or Christmas gifts. The other whiskey gift is a whiskey decanter set, it can be an amazing gift idea. It usually includes a decanter, a stopper, four to six glasses, and a tray for display. Many whiskey sets come in a box and are suitable for gift giving. It is wonderful to have whiskey in your house, whatever your budget. It is wonderful to have bourbon to enjoy, and you can add some interesting flavors with water. It’s great for guests who prefer to drink cocktails and shots rather than enjoy straight bourbon.
