Best Bourbon Glassware

How about some fabulous glassware for the bourbon lover in your life?

The Glencairn glass is the standard Scottish glass for drinking whiskey. The flared mouth is designed to let the aromas out. The wide bowl allows for the best appreciation of the bourbon’s color.

Evans Williams Barrel Shot Glass

$8

This shot glass looks like a bourbon barrel in miniature. It has the Evan Williams Bourbon logo stamped on it.

Best Bourbon Decanters & Flasks

Using a decanter allows your spirit to open up, breathe, and release flavors that may have been muted without decanting. A proper decanter with truly airtight seals can keep your spirits for several weeks or months.

Tomoka Gold Decanter

$188

This exquisite decanter easily dispenses out of a side spigot and features a crystal ship inside the barrel. It comes with a stainless-steel plaque attached to the base, so you can customize this and make it truly special. The stainless-steel spigot has a leak-proof seal and easy-flow technology. The base is handmade from solid oak by master craftsmen in Kentucky. The glass stopper on the top is airtight so you don’t waste a single drop. Plus, for each decanter sold, we plant a tree!

Buffalo Trace Decanter

$145

This classic crystal decanter features the Buffalo Trace Distillery logo etched into the front of the jar. It’s 24 percent full lead crystal, hand cut, and polished. For real fans of Buffalo Trace bourbon, this will be a favorite in the den!

Voyager Expedition Flask with Compass

$163

This beautiful flask has a rotating bezel set into the middle of the stainless-steel bottle. The compass has iridescent blue mother-of-pearl with intricate texturing and detailing. The flask can be engraved with initials, dates, or a personal message. (The compass is set for the northern hemisphere only.)Best Bourbon Edibles (Bitters, Infusions, Smokers, etc.)
Can’t get enough bourbon flavor? We have the best in bourbon-y things to eat! We have bitters that you can add to your bourbon, as well as bourbon-flavored yummies. There’s even a smoker to infuse your bourbon!

Copper Spirits Infuser

$75

This is an all-in-one infuser that allows you to quickly and easily mix new flavors into your favorites. It comes with an instruction booklet and some recipes so you can get started right now. It’s an excellent display piece to go next to that amazing decanter that your bourbon-lover will prize. Things you can add to your bourbon: nuts, fruits, spices, cacao nibs, cooked bacon, flowers, and more.

Oak Infusion Spiral

$10

Does your bourbon lover adore the smokey, outdoorsy consistency of his or her bourbon? Then this is a perfect, inexpensive gift. All you do is just plop the oak spiral into your bourbon, then let it sit for about two weeks to do its magic. Reviews from real customers indicate that the spiral helps to eliminate the alcoholic burn of a cheap bottle of whiskey or bourbon.

Barrel Stave Glass and Cigar Holder

$35

Does your bourbon lover enjoy cigars as well? This convenient gadget allows your bourbon lover to take a glass of whiskey and cigar outside. The holder includes a cigar end cutter. It’s made from a repurposed barrel stave from Kentucky’s distilleries and is custom-made. Notches perfectly fit our Glencairn glass and a large cigar.

Cocktail Smoker

$23

This choice comes with four items: A chunk of wood, a torch, apple and cherry wood chips, and an Old Fashioned mix. (Oh, there is a recipe book as well, so that makes five items.) First, you char your wood base (which comes beveled) using the flame torch. (Butane is not included.) You then put your glass upside down on the wood base and let the glass soak up the smoke. Lastly, you add a wood chip and pour in your favorite bourbon. The Old Fashioned syrup makes a perfect mix to accompany your bourbon.

Bitters Dram Set – Five Pack

$26

This five-pack of Woodford Reserve Bitters is an excellent choice to go with any bourbon connoisseur’s bar. The set includes orange, spiced cherry, sorghum & sassafras, aromatic, and chocolate bitters.

Woodford Reserve Bourbon Cherries

$18

These cherries are perfectly muddled in a cocktail. They have hints of Kentucky’s finest bourbon recipes and make an excellent addition to an Old Fashioned. These are way better than Maraschino cherries.

Tara’s Gourmet Bourbon Flavored Caramels

$21

These are individually-wrapped caramel candies that have a slight bourbon taste to them. They are handmade using a recipe passed down for generations.

Bourbon Whiskey Barrel Cask Coffee

$27

This is a package of whole-bean Colombian coffee. The beans have been aged for 45-60 days in Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey Barrels, then roasted to fresh perfection. What you get is beautiful flavors of heavy honey, nutty butterscotch, and rustic chocolate in a medium-dark roast. We promise that after you grind these beans, your entire kitchen will smell amazing. Add a dash of cream, and you’ve got a morning dose of heaven.

Old Forester Old Fashioned Flavored Syrup

$8

This syrup is a perfect addition to an excellent Old Fashioned. It’s a proprietary blend of three Old Forester bitters: Hummingbird bitters, Bohemian bitters, and Smoked Cinnamon bitters. Just stir ½ oz. of the syrup in with 2 oz. of Old Forester whiskey for a perfect drink.

Evan Williams Bourbon Meat Marinade

$10

This is a delicious addition to your grilling. Whiskey makes an excellent ingredient in a meat marinade, in general. But this saves you all the prep work of mixing together the Worcestershire sauce and garlicky goodness. One bottle will be a game-changer.       

Best Bourbon Stones & Chilling Options

Do you enjoy a cold drink but don’t want to water down your whiskey using ice cubes? You can use bourbon cubes or whiskey stones instead. They’re typically made from stone or stainless steel, so you can lower the temperature of your drink without compromising its flavor. Try these favorites!

6 Granite Whiskey Stones

$30

These whiskey stones are made from American granite sourced from the northeastern USA. The granite is very dense, allowing it to stay cold longer. It will never crumble, nor add unwanted flavor, impurities, or odors to your drink. Rounded corners prevent the stones from scratching the inside of your glass.

Stainless Steel Whiskey Stones

$26

These stainless-steel whiskey spheres come stored in a silicone cube tray with tongs. Like the granite stones, this option is rounded to prevent scratching your glassware. Freeze 2-3 hours before use. Replace the balls after 30 minutes with fresh ones.

Best Bourbon Wall and Human Décor (T-shirts, Artwork)

Do you love bourbon SO MUCH that you want to wear it, look at it, and have memorabilia all over your house? Here are some awesome gift ideas for all of those people that want to proudly display their affection for whiskey!

Bourbon Bar Wall Sign

$87

We love this wall sign for so many reasons! First, the designs are fantastic. The pictured motorcycle etching will appeal to the rough rider in your life. However, the website has a ton of other options. There are military and firefighter insignias, golf, navy stars, etc. Secondly, the wood grain is stunning. The sign is made from acacia wood, which is durable and water-resistant. It is a deep brown color with varied and stunning natural grain. The customizable words are etched cleanly and elegantly.

Wood Coasters (Set of 4)

$30

These coasters come in a set of four. Although we picked out this image of a whiskey barrel, there are a ton of images you can choose from. They include zodiac signs, dog breeds, national parks, and big city designs. Like the bar sign above, these wood coasters are made from gorgeous acacia wood. They can also be customized with your friend or loved one’s name on them. What a fantastic personalized gift!

Bourbon Rocks Socks for Women

$15

We love these cute mid-calf socks! This is for the female bourbon lover in your life. One size fits most (sizes 5-10); 75% cotton, 22% polyester, 3% spandex.

The site also offers a two-pack, with another pair that says, “My favorite color is bourbon.” Reviews indicate that these are good-quality socks. Check these out!

Stay Home, Drink Bourbon, Pet the Dog T-shirt

$20

Of course, we love this—we love bourbon AND dogs! Choose from a variety of colors, men’s and women’s styles, and sizes S-3X. (No, we don’t think they offer a cat version of this tee. Sorry!) Wear it with caution, though. One reviewer wittily commented that wearing this tee may put you in the awkward position of people striking up a conversation with you and inviting themselves over to drink your bourbon! (Order 1-2 sizes up when ordering the women’s style.)

Old Forester Hoodie

$45

Buffalo Trace Dog Collar

$30

Have a friend who loves bourbon and dogs as we do? You should get them the dog t-shirt PLUS this great Buffalo Trace dog collar.
