Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey
This coveted whiskey from Buffalo Trace Distillery (owned by the Sazerac Corporation) is in high demand these days. The sweet, citrusy, oaky profile of this acclaimed bourbon, coupled with notes of clove, will delight whiskey lovers.
If the receiver is unfamiliar with the spirit, you can then explain why Blanton’s is said to be the first single barrel bourbon, and how eight different racehorse stoppers spell out the name.
Macallan 15-Year Double Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky
A world-renowned brand with a premium price-point and world-class quality, Macallan Scotch is familiar to even the most uneducated whiskey drinker. Even though the Macallan 15-year Double Oak Single Malt isn’t cheap, it’s more affordable than the 20- to30-year varieties.
Macallan Double Cask whiskies are aged in hand-crafted oak casks seasoned with dry Oloroso sherry, delivering notes of vanilla, butterscotch, citrus, and an unmistakable Macallan spice.
Yamazaki 12-Year Single Malt Whiskey
When it comes to quality Japanese whiskey, Yamazaki is at the top of the list, and price isn’t the sole determining factor. Anyone who appreciates whiskey will enjoy this unique flavor profile of this buttery, bright, and fruity whiskey.
Glendalough Double Barrel Irish Whiskey
A thousand years ago, the Irish and Scots were among the first to use barley and grain to create whiskey, instead of wine-based spirits like brandy that European aristocracy enjoyed. Irish whiskey was differentiated from Scotch whiskey by adding an “e” to the word whisky.
Glendalough is an independent Irish distillery that won double gold in the 2021 San Francisco spirits competition. The brand is named after St. Kevin Monastic City, where monks first distilled whiskey in the 6th century (the spirit’s mascot). Aside from all the fascinating history, this whiskey is excellent and unique that would make a great gift.
It has a creamy, malty nose begins with rich vanilla, white chocolate and buttery fudge. Notes of cooking apples, white grapes, marzipan icing and toasted oak form in the backdrop.
W.L. Weller Special Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey
As the first “wheated” bourbon, W.L Weller Special Reserve (another Buffalo Trace brand) is a unique whiskey to gift. Bourbon typically contains at least 51% corn, a small percentage of barley, and a small amount of rye. WL Weller was the first to use rye grain instead of wheat, giving the product a delicate, smooth finish.
This bourbon maintains its abundant sweetness on the palate, delivering a tasty yet classic mix of honey, caramel, vanilla, and light fruit. The W.L Weller brand has seven variations, all of which are hard to find and very expensive.
Sagamore Spirit Straight Rye Whiskey
As opposed to bourbon, rye whiskey must contain at least 51% rye grain, giving it a sharp, spicy, alcohol-forward flavor profile. In the world of rye whiskey, Sagamore Spirit is a young distillery out of Baltimore that is doing some creative things. Its signature rye whiskey is a blend of a high rye and low rye mash bill, both aged for 4-6 years.
With notes of spicy cinnamon, sweet honey, and a nutty finish, the low and high rye blend delivers a complex flavor profile. You can sip this spirit neat or mix it with a Manhattan for a delicious drink.
Lagavulin 16 Year Scotch
If you know someone who loves mezcal and is looking to convert them to whisky, Lagavulin would make an excellent gift. It has a wonderfully smooth finish and is one of the smokiest Scotches you’ll find. This whiskey is dominated by smoke, but it also displays well-placed notes of tea and sweet tobacco.
Lagavulin takes longer to distill and mature than any other whisky in the brand’s Classic Malt Collection.
Sazerac Rye Whiskey
Having over 20 different whiskey brands under its belt, it’s hard to avoid mentioning Sazerac whiskey. If you know someone who lives in New Orleans, you may be familiar with Sazerac Rye, which has deep roots in the city that date back to the 1800s.
This whiskey giant chose the name after a drink made from rye whiskey and Peychaud’s Bitters popular before the Civil War. This whiskey is not just a traditional rye whiskey, but is also an affordable and delicious whiskey gift.
Wild Turkey Longbranch
For those who want an excellent whiskey in the mid-level price range, but want to avoid a played-out bottle of Jack, Wild Turkey Longbranch is a great choice. Smooth and oaky, this bourbon is perfect for sipping neat or on the rocks.
It has a caramel and spices on the palate with subtle smokiness and a hint of oak and char. It’s warm and smooth from start to finish.
