There are enough options in the world of all things alcoholic to find a gift to suit every sipper on your list.
Ah, the inevitable challenge of finding the perfect holiday gift. Should you go the luxury route or keep it practical? Should you buy one present or many?
The ugly sweater bottle In recent years, the ugly sweater has been a holiday meme of sorts, celebrated for all its seasonal ticky-tacky glory. So it was only a matter of time before an enterprising spirits maker would find a way to booze-ify this new tradition. Savage & Cooke, a California-based distillery, has done just that with its Bad Sweater release , a holiday offering of whiskey smartly flavored with seasonal spices, including cinnamon and nutmeg.
The other Japanese bottle On the surface, there’s nothing even vaguely Japanese about WhistlePig, a Vermont-based rye maker that’s become something of a cult favorite in recent years. But the brand has put out a special release, dubbed The Boss Hog: The Samurai Scientist , that has a Japanese connection. It’s a 16-year-old rye that has been aged in barrels that formerly stored umeshu . And the whiskey indeed has an ever-so-subtly sweet, plum-like character.
The really old bottle You can find Scotches that have been aged for several decades. But in the world of bourbon, few are aged more than 10-12 years and even fewer are aged past 15 years. The concern is that bourbons beyond a certain time simply become too woody in flavor. But that is not the case with Michter’s recently unveiled, limited-edition 20-year bourbon . This is a stunner of a sip, with notes of sweetness and spice and a memorably dry finish.
