A rose by any other name wouldn't be as award-winning a bourbon, and this small batch run from Kentucky's most epic producer makes for a subtly sentimental gift. For the first 50 years of Kentucky bourbon history, Four Roses was synonymous with the best in the business — and legend has it, named for the meet-cute of its founder and his love, a Southern belle who wore a corsage of four roses one day to signal that she felt the same way. Made at the original distillery in Lawrenceburg since 1888, this is a surprisingly smooth, easy-drinking and delicate bourbon that's you'll want to sip again and again, preferably on a porch swing or rocking chair, savoring the scents of caramel and maple syrup and flavors of ripe fruits and raisins while recollecting favorite memories.

Made at the original distillery in Lawrenceburg since 1888, this is a soft and smooth, mellow and balanced bourbon master-distilled at peak age from four original and limited-release bourbon recipes, preferably enjoyed on a porch swing or rocking chair, savoring the scents of sweet oak and caramel and flavors of rich, spicy fruits and ripened berries.
Glenfiddich is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky owned and produced by William Grant & Sons in Dufftown, Scotland — one of the last and largest remaining independently and family-owned whisky distilleries in Scotland. Glenfiddich means ‘Valley of the Deer' in Gaelic, hence the iconic stag symbol on each bottle of its best-selling and most-awarded single malt Scotch whisky in the world. The 18-year is aged and finished in fine Spanish Oloroso wood and American oak barrels crafted in the Grant family’s onsite cooperage, then each of the no more than 150 batches are individually numbered and carefully watched over by Malt Master Brian Kinsman. Tasting notes tell of a dark gold Scotch that's rich with oak, baked apple, and cinnamon.
Grow old with me, the best is yet to be. Glenlivet's award-winning whiskies always rack up awards and critical acclaim, but none are as subtly layered and slowly unfolding as this 15-Year Single Malt. Aged exclusively in French Limousin Oak casks — the same style used for making most fine French wines and Cognacs — this is a deeply satisfying, rich and exotic, spicy but not overpowering Speyside. A great buy for Scotch fans who don't like intense peatiness, from the distillery with "The single malt that started it all."
Your betrothed is the Eve to your Adam. The Nectar of the Gods from Glenmorangie is shy, taking its time to open up, so release the serpent of enlightenment by splashing some pure still water into this award-winning whisky. Inspired by a French patisserie, this Single Malt is aged in American white oak for 12 years but then transferred to French Sauternes barrels to really develop its silky, sumptuous, complex pastry-like flavors. As Frank Sinatra once said, "Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the Bible says love your enemy."
And now, your adventure begins. Long before the Roman empire, the proud and free Picts ruled the part of Scotland where Glenmorangie Distillery now sits, cultivating the sweeping beauty and natural bounty of the environment and celebrating it through art. The Signet pays special homage to that sacred Highland heritage by recreating the treasured Pictish Cadboll Stone — one of the most significant pieces of early European sculpture — for its label. As hushed and journeyman as an ancient ceremony, Glenmorangie whisky has no manual or recipe: it's passed from generation to generation by the Men of Tain, who craft the spirits by hand, eye, knack, and feel, slogging up Morangie hill to gather a secret mix of heather and juniper designed to remove the sharpness of the copper stills. A blend of Glenmorangie's oldest whisky — distilled over thirty years ago when malting still occurred on site — and spirit matured in a selection of the world's finest casks, this undoubtedly is the richest whisky in their Prestige Range.
The royal duchess of European orange liqueurs, Grand Marnier is a sweet, fruit-forward liqueur made from Cognac brandy blended with distilled essence d'orange and sugar. A favorite of bartenders and bakers alike for more than 150 years, Grand Marnier is a must-have in your home bar for classics like Manhattans, Margaritas, Old Fashioneds, Sidecars and Mimosas. No doubt, you'll also find yourself borrowing it in the kitchen for decadent brunch and holiday dishes, like duck l'orange or roast chicken with orange glaze, or desserts like cakes, candies, chocolate mousses and infused creams.
Cool as a cucumber no matter how dysfunctional the family gathering, you enjoy a stiff cocktail as uniquely stoic. One of the original small-batch gins, Hendricks is known for being a smooth, light, and refreshing cocktail gin infused with just a whisper of cucumber and rose petals. Make up a pitcher of Tom Collins or Gin Fizzes for 4th of July at the beach house or if the bridal shower is projected to be as tense as a Tenenbaum reunion and enjoy its velvety medicine.
"For relaxing times, make it Suntory Time." Bill Murray knows: it's always Suntory time. That's because the Japanese love American whiskey so much they've elevated it to an art form — and this Japanese Harmony blend is a masterful example, crafted from three distilleries and five different types of casks in order to infuse each limited-edition bottle with elements of each of the 24 "Sekkis," or Japanese lunar seasons, so it's versatile enough for any cocktail or time of year.
Your motley crew of cowboys and cowgirls couldn't be more different as individuals, but yet you make a great team — your best memories find you around the fire, telling tall tales until dawn. High West Whiskey Campfire is the world's only, and possibly first, blend of Scotch, bourbon and rye whiskeys. It's a super unusual, distinctive, and delicious whiskey that's the perfect way to say "thank you for standing by my side on my most important day" — and cheers to many more late nights bonded in friendship.
Cowboy up, it's the end of the day and that's means it's rally time for fun and feisty cocktails. Situated at the bottom of the Quitting Time Ski Run in Park City, High West Distillery & Saloon is the first distillery in Utah since Prohibition and the only ski-in gastro-distillery in the world. Paying homage to the history of the Old West saloons and the important role they played as a meeting place, this is a rye that is meant to be shared and infused with that sense of community and friendship. This is a young, bold, and spicy whiskey perfect for creating new memories — think bachelor & bachelorette parties, milestone reunions.
Even as a Westward pioneer, you would have been a gentleman, a scholar, and a fine judge of horses — today, you enjoy the rich smell of mahogany and leather-bound books. You're the people who still subscribe to print newspapers and magazines. A marriage of High West's award-winning bourbon, Vya sweet vermouth from Quady Winery in California, and Gran Classico bitter amaro from Switzerland, The Barreled Boulevardier is a complex and satisfying cocktail-in-one — named for Erskine Gwynne's The Boulevardier magazine and eponymous cocktail, whose contributors and fans included James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, Thomas Wolfe, and Sinclair Lewis. Your wedding party is full of similarly fashionable, intellectual and cultured friends, worldly whiskey folk who would enjoy being gifted this unique bottle.
Celebrate bourbon heritage with the official whiskey of Manhattan, now that the New York Craft Beverage Act finally allows spirit makers to perfect the craft again right where the cocktail was born. Hudson Whiskey, the first family of whiskies distilled in New York since Prohibition, makes its bourbons in a pure labor of love. The Baby Bourbon is a uniquely warm, small-batch, limited-edition whiskey born in the Hudson Valley and calling for a big ol' whiskey ice cube in a rocks glass or a classic Manhattan. Gift to your NY-based friends or wedding party for a little hometown pride to show off & enjoy on their bar cart.
Weird and wonderful things happen when you enjoy a good Mezcal with friends and spirit animals, from weddings in Marfa to urban vision quests. Where there's smoke there's usually fire, and this Ilegal Mezcal Joven offers up the best sweet smoked agave, minty eucalyptus and rich earth with just a hint of flowers, like a smudge stick for the soul. Sub it into your favorite tequila cocktails, like you would replace chili peppers with chipotle when you want more umami in a favorite dish, or share a finger or two over ice to help your nearest and dearest tune in to Mezcal's magical powers.
You've pretty much read the entire canon, and you stock your bar like your bookshelves. Johnnie Walker Black Label is as iconic as a leather-bound volume of Hemingway — a benchmark of greatness. It's the whisky the Scotch & Soda was invented to show off: unmistakably smooth, deep, and complex character, like the most interesting literature. Sip it while cozying up to the next volume you simply can't put down or share with your entire book/supper club any time they're over. The instantly recognizable square bottle makes for a sophisticated and stylish gift, too!
Having a million dollars isn't cool. You know what's cool? A billion dollars. High rollers everywhere know this is the real deal, true blue Scotch for times that call for celebrating: startup wins, exits, IPOs, red carpets, and just generally being an everyday baller. A self-made man himself, Johnnie Walker took his $417 inheritance when his father died in 1820 and turned it into the High Street store that became the pinnacle of whisky blending innovation. Blue Label is the top shelf blend personally created by master distiller James Beveridge to celebrate the 19th century style of whiskies produced by Johnnie and his son Alexander Walker that originally made the House of Walker famous around the world. Smooth, gold medal winning, subtly sweet and an absolute game-changer in your whisky drinking experience. Plus, you know, for luck: something new, something old, something borrowed, something BLUE.
Dear Ketel One Drinker: You pay for Spotify Premium and cut the cord to your cable because you just can't stand ads. They feel you. The 300-year-old craft vodka ran its first-ever advertising campaign in 2003, and apologetically. As an American bartenders' favorite, Ketel One made its mark and gained popularity for its heritage-quality spirit purely through word-of-mouth up until that point. Since 1691, the Nolet Family has been making the crisp, smooth, crystalline, non-GMO Winter Wheat vodka in the same coal-fired copper stills at their Rotterdam distillery, and Ketel One is named for the "Distilleerketel #1" oldest copper kettle that survived both the French Revolution and WWII intact. This is your choice for classic cocktails where the vodka really shines, like a vodka soda, a vodka collins, or a vodka martini.
Your ragtag crew of misfits manages to hide their mischievous ways in plain sight, like the most infamous rum-running flotillas, and you love them the more for it. This small-batch rum is your new go-to sipping spirit. The hero-pirates of Prohibition, rum-runners smuggled schooner holds full of cane sugar casks from the Caribbean to New York - and Kirk and Sweeney is named for one of the most infamous seizures. Crafted in the Dominican Republic from raw sugarcane and fully aged for 23 years in the barrel, this aged rum is as complex as it is caramelized. Pour a few fingers over ice with a splash of freshly squeezed fruit juice and let the shenanigans commence.
