So, you want to shop for a bourbon drinker but don’t know where to start? Don’t worry—I’ve got you covered! This holiday season, I’ll help you become the ultimate gift giver. Below are five items every bourbon enthusiast either wants or needs. Let’s dive in!
5. Smoked Cocktail Kit
We’ve all seen it—whether at a bar, on TikTok, or somewhere else—a smoked Old Fashioned being made and thought, “Wow, I want one of those!” Well, now you can give the gift of creating that experience at home.
The Aumpkin Cocktail Smoker Kit with Torch is perfect for stepping up anyone’s cocktail game. I own this exact kit, and it’s fantastic! With endless flavor options, it transforms any kitchen into a craft cocktail bar. At just $40, this is a fun, memorable, and budget-friendly gift that every bourbon lover will appreciate.
4. Ice Ball Molds
Nothing beats a good whiskey on the rocks. However, regular ice cubes can melt too quickly, watering down the drink. Enter ice ball molds—a simple solution to keep whiskey colder for longer without diluting it.
I personally recommend this set from Wibimen, available on Amazon for only $13. It’s a “cool” gift idea that any bourbon drinker will love—pun intended!
3. Flask
While I’m not advocating public intoxication or drinking and driving, let’s be honest—a good flask comes in handy. Whether you’re at a family gathering, relaxing by the fire on a crisp winter night, or sneaking a little extra “love” into your Coke at the movies, a flask is a stylish and practical accessory.
The RagProper Flask is a standout choice, combining elegance and functionality. It’s made to keep whiskey safe and looking dapper. For $50, it’s a thoughtful and versatile gift for the bourbon fan in your life.
2. The Whiskey Wedge
This might just be the best invention since sliced bread! The Whiskey Wedge is an innovative glass that includes a built-in mold to create a perfectly chilled wedge of ice. It keeps whiskey cold without watering it down, making it ideal for purists and cocktail lovers alike.
At only $25, this is an easy win for any gift giver looking to elevate someone’s drinking experience.
1. Whiskey (of Course!)
No bourbon lover’s gift guide would be complete without whiskey itself! Whether or not you drink, picking out a bottle can be a fun and rewarding experience. There are plenty of affordable options out there that will impress any bourbon enthusiast.
If you’re unsure what to choose, ask a liquor store employee for a recommendation or simply go with a bottle that catches your eye. Trust me, any whiskey drinker will appreciate the thought behind receiving a bottle—whether it’s savored neat or used as a mixer.
I hope this guide helps you shop for the whiskey lover in your life! Did I miss anything? Let me know, and I might include it in the next guide. Remember, life is full of questions, but when it comes to bourbon lovers, the answer is always “To Cigar!”
