Tis the season to be jolly…
Whisky has a way of loosening the lips a bit, so we found a few famous quotes to go along with our 10 gift ideas for the whisky lover in your life.
18 Year Old
“The proper drinking of Scotch whisky is more than indulgence: it is a toast to civilization, a tribute to the continuity of culture, a manifesto of man’s determination to use the resources of nature to refresh mind and body and enjoy to the full the senses with which he has been endowed.” – David Daiches
The Dalmore makes some of our favorite Scotch whiskies and their special 18 year old single malt is sure to please any Scotch lover.
World Whiskey Limited Edition Book
“Love makes the world go round? Not at all. Whisky makes it go round twice as fast.” — Compton Mackenzie
The whisky world is large, diverse and fascinating. Let the “World Whiskey Limited Edition Book” be your passport and guidebook. Leatherbound and written in the style of a magazine, it’s easily and enjoyable consumed alongside a tall pour.
The Old Fashioned Kit
“Give me coffee to change the things I can, and whiskey to accept the things I can’t!” — Unknown
Old Fashioneds have never been easier than with this Jack Rudy Cocktail Co. kit. This makes a great gift for someone without a complete home bar or who would appreciate the simplicity this kit provides.
Old Fashioned Smoker Kit
“I always take Scotch whiskey at night as a preventive of toothache. I have never had the toothache; and what is more, I never intend to have it.” – Mark Twain
Once someone has the traditional Old Fashioned down pat, perhaps with the help of the kit above, take it up a notch with a bit of smoke. This simple kit makes it easy.
Clear Ice Cube Maker Design Tray
“When life hands you lemons, make whisky sours.” – W. C. Fields
Artistic home bartenders will enjoy adding a design touch to a drink with this simple tray. Rather than a mold, ice cubes melt on this tray to leave a series of distinctive designs.
Soda Siphon Classic Mesh Sodamaker
“Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough.” – Mark Twain
For the person who likes to make everything from scratch, consider this sodamaker from iSi. This is a fun way to add a custom touch to any cocktail at home.
Whisky Advent Calendar 2024
“There is no bad whiskey. There are only some whiskeys that aren’t as good as others.” – Raymond Chandler
With 24 50-ml pours, no one is going to love every taste from this advent calendar. But that’s almost part of it’s purpose as this is an easy way to sample a variety of whiskies. The kit comes with two Glencairn glasses and can make for a shared activity, not just a solo adventure.
Remy Glass Decanter
“Whisky making is an act of cooperation between the blessings of nature and the wisdom of man.” – Masataka Taketsuru
And just as the crafting of whiskey brings together the best design, craftsmanship and materials, this beautiful decanter from Ralph Lauren is a worthy vessel to compliment a carefully crafted bottle.
Massena Double Old-Fashioneds (Set of 2)
“The light music of whiskey falling into a glass…an agreeable interlude!” — James Joyce
These heavy, beautiful glasses from Baccarat are up to James Joyce’s task. The Double Old-Fashioneds will make any whiskey lover happy.
“Perfect Pour” 2oz Travel Flask
“It is true that whisky improves with age. The older I get, the more I like it.” – Robert Black
Our 2oz flask is the perfect amount for a single whiskey pour and the simple, classic design of this pewter, English-made flask is the best way to carry it in style. Besides, you’ll carry a reminder of your friends here at He Spoke Style along with you.
The Bottom Line
