Made of water-resistant acacia wood, these square coasters protect your hardwood furniture from ugly watermarks and look great doing it!

5. Barrel Stave Cigar Holder

Now, this beauty has an old-school vibe but is in a new era. Our American craftsmen took reclaimed bourbon- and wine-barrel staves and fashioned them into this barrel stave cigar and Glencairn glass holder. A one-handed approach to two of life’s greatest pleasures, the holder is accented with metal taken from the galvanized barrel hoops. It packs some serious old-world charm and sophistication into one small package! All his friends will want one for themselves and the best part is that each will be unique due to the rescued nature of the materials.

7. Golfer’s Personalized Bar Sign

Now that he can finally spend more time out on the fairway, give him a gift that celebrates his love of golf!

This is a wonderful retirement gift for dads who love whiling away an afternoon on the links.

8. American Flag Flask

Give him the gift of drinks on the go with this all-beverage flask wrapped in genuine wood. The wood has been expertly engraved with the American flag, advertising his patriotism in style.

Our artisans have also refurbished the galvanized metal hoops into accents for the rack. Enjoy your favorite whiskeys side by side (by side!) with this decorative and useful flight rack.

13. Whiskey Stones Gift Set

Another thing any whiskey enthusiast can tell you is that the worst part of drinking whiskey on ice is that the ice inevitably melts, leaving them with a watered-down drink. The solution?

From the first sip to the last, the whiskey will remain as potent as it’s meant to be.
