- High quality whiskey glasses
- Large square ice cube trays
- Whiskey infused or flavored treats
- Whiskey of the month gift club
- A bottle of whiskey
High Quality Whiskey Glasses
Take your whiskey experience to the next level with the right style whiskey glass. Who knew there were so many designs to choose from? When you are purchasing a whiskey glass for someone as a gift, you will want to consider the nosing, appearance and drinkability of the glass being considered. The most popular style of whiskey glass is a tumbler but many people do not have a diverse collection beyond this.
3 popular styles of whiskey glasses:
- Tumbler – straight with thick wall and a heavy base
- Snifter – tulip shaped on thin stem with a narrow mouth
- Glencairn – tulip shaped on a thick glass pedestal
Large Square Ice Cube Trays
Whiskey drinkers understand the importance of their drink not becoming watered down too quickly. This is why many whiskey centered drinks will call for one very large ice cube rather than a cup full of ice. If your whiskey drinker does not already have one of these ice cube trays at home, this would make an ideal gift so they can enjoy quality cocktails from the comfort of their own kitchen.
Whiskey Infused or Flavored Treats
Take your gift giving up a notch and consider a different direction for whiskey lovers. There are many products that are actually whiskey flavored or infused that are just as thoughtful. Some items to look for include; tea, coffee, beef jerky, pastries, cheese varieties and even candy. These snacks are ideal for the whiskey lover who seems to already have all of the necessary accessories and a well stocked liquor cabinet.
Whiskey Of The Month Gift Club
The gift that keeps on giving is a popular whiskey of the month club. There are plenty of national chains that will send small samples of whiskey directly to the gift recipients’ door but there are also locally owned and operated distilleries that do the same thing. It may take a little bit of busy work to find a local family owned distillery but the benefit of supporting a local business is a gift to the small business and to the person receiving the monthly whiskey.
A Bottle Of Whiskey
When you are looking for a gift for your favorite whiskey drinker, sometimes you need to go no further than their favorite liquor store for a bottle of their favorite whiskey. This shows you pay attention to what they like and they will definitely greatly appreciate this thoughtful gift.
