31 Best Gifts for People Who Take Whiskey Seriously

If they’re an adventure type, Whiskey Peaks makes my favorite novelty drinking accessories. It looks as good as stuff that’s triple the price, and it’s got a more fun look. I gave this set to my brother a few years back, and it’s become one of his prized possessions.

These whiskey-infused toothpicks make a great, tiny gift for the person obsessed with whiskey in any form. Choose from a bourbon or malt infusion.

They’ll never be without their beloved tools or favorite bottles.

A bourbon gift that’s not just another bottle of the stuff: Maple syrup that gets aged in the same barrels as actual Pappy.

For the history buff (ahem, nerd), these headlines-of-history whiskey glasses are fun to give and get.

Because it’d be frowned upon to douse yourself in straight whiskey, here’s our favorite alternative.

Is 2024 their big year? Get ’em something to commemorate their very first (of course) pour.

Sure, these geometric whiskey stones look cool as hell. But they’ll also chill whiskey right and help guests tell their drinks apart. A win-win-win.

Estelle Colored Glass makes some of our favorite barware of all time, including this chic set of hand-blown glasses.

They’ll always have a handful of bottles in their bar, but at any given time, there’s one expression they want to showcase. For that, they need a decanter, and no one makes them as beautifully as Ralph Lauren Home. The Stirling line, inspired by the pleating on a tuxedo shirt, is a personal favorite, especially if you’re buying for a man.

For anyone picky about their ice-to-whiskey ratio, this wedge-shaped ice mold and double Old-Fashioned glass will give them something to think about.

This gorgeous leather-bound guidebook serves as an encyclopedia to 700 of the most interesting whiskey makers in the world, from Scotland to Japan to Australia.

Whiskey people get freaky about their cocktail ice. A cheap mold will get good cubes, of course, but it’s not the most user-friendly process. This three-piece ice mold is the best one I’ve ever used.

Tenmile Distillery is looking toward single-malt Scotch for inspiration. Made from barley, like Scotch would be, grown in the Hudson Valley, it’s a small-batch, small-run type of operation. The result is some fucking phenomenal whiskey.

The ideal gift would be the YETI flask, but every color sold out shortly after release. A lowball glass is a suitable replacement, though. This Wetland Brown is one of my all-time favorite YETI colorways.

An Esquire Spirit Award-winning bottle that’ll make them think. It’s not an outrageously priced bottle, nor is it difficult to find at a liquor store. If you need something quick, this is a great shout.

Why pick one present? A Flaviar membership introduces them to a digital whiskey-drinking club, with access to bottles and tastings, special whiskey releases, member events, and more.

The essence of Dalmore Scotch whisky is used to flavor these decadent truffles. Two vices, satisfied in one box.

Tap into their inner mad scientist with this cloche and torch, designed to steep cocktails in smoky flavors. That’ll be one hell of an Old-Fashioned.
