Got a castle in Brooklyn that's where you dwell, you offered Moet and Chivas as well. Wherever you go, the party comes with it. From classic literature to modern hip-hop, there's a reason Chivas is constantly getting name-dropped: it's the smoothest, most cocktail-friendly Scotch going on three centuries. "By virtue, not by force" is the Chivas family motto, and this 18-year old premium blended whisky will win them on its own merit with its above-average maltiness. Pour a few fingers to celebrate with siblings or friends who just feel like family, for bigger crowds in batches of Rob Roys, Old Fashioneds, Speyside Cosmos or personalized concoctions. Brass Monkey, anyone?
You've mastered the art of entertaining, and your fetes are always seamless and unassuming. An absolute bartending essential for more than 100 years, Cointreau - also called L'esprit d'orange - is a staple in your soiree-hosting arsenal, a gentle, sweet and balanced French orange liqueur called for in nearly every year-round cocktail standard: Margaritas, Kir Royales, Mimosas, Autumn Harvests, Mulled Ciders, Sidecars, Cosmopolitans, Seelbachs, Rickeys and more.
When you're feeling a bit emo and brooding, the best remedy is an amaro cocktail. Deep in the Black Forest bordering Switzerland and Germany, a melody of 13 moody plants is gathered to create this famously herbaceous, artichoke-flavored bitter liqueur and cousin to Fernet Branca - which are both also powerful digestives. Sip on Cynar and soda, or mix up a batch of classics: the Black Betty, the Adriatique, the Dell'Erborista Spritz, the Cafe Corretto, or Cynar Juleps.
Because you know that a wedding is just a party, but a marriage is two family trees joined for eternity. Named for its location at the crossing of old roads between two mountain ranges, Dalwhinnie located smack in the beating heart of the Highlands and the highest distillery in Scotland. Like an ancient Clydesdale horse, it's the gentle giant of Single Malts — "a perfect beginner's malt," say the critics. Year after year it survives the coldest, remotest of conditions to produce a smooth, clean, medium-bodied spirit that's golden-hued and aromatic with lots of heather and honey sweetness. Celebrate new love and new life in the spring with Dalwhinnie and water, or mix into a green tea whisky cocktail if you fancy.

This is the gin you want stocked in your home bar and on hand for any warm-weather gathering.

It's important to stop and celebrate life's milestones, big and small. Named one of the Richest Pours of 2016 by Forbes, this is an extra-aged tequila created to mark the 60th anniversary of Don Julio's first distillery in Jalisco, La Primavera. Produced in small batches, Don Julio 1942 is one of the most highly sought-after and exquisite Mexican tequilas. The process begins by hand-selecting Agave plants that take seven to ten years to mature. The Agave is then slowly roasted for 70 hours in traditional masonry ovens and double distilled in a special alambique. This limited edition Tequila is crafted from the finest Agave and aged until it reaches the most extraordinary levels of flavor and character - a tribute to Don Julio Gonzalez's epic journey and a fitting way to commemorate yours, at each step of the way.
Whenever you're suffering from a case of early onset nostalgia, Don Julio has your back. Spanish for "aged," anejo is the golden elixir that gives top shelf margaritas their depth of flavor. Matured in smaller batches for 18 months in American white-oak barrels, Don Julio Añejo is a rich, distinctive and wonderfully complex tequila, with flavors balanced perfectly between agave, wood, and hints of vanilla. Pour a few fingers and relive the glory days with dear friends, or go for something completely different with a twist on the throwback Manhattan by substituting anejo tequila for whiskey.
Hey girl. Sorry you had a bad day - let me make you a luxury skinny margarita and you can tell me all about it. If you're lucky enough to be married to a smooth Baby Goose all your own, you've got it made - and if he's still learning the ropes, help him on his way to making simple, everyday things mean more starting with this top-shelf bottle of silver tequila in your home bar. Using the finest raw agave and a time honored distillation process, Don Julio Blanco has crisp, clean grapefruit and citrus flavors with subtle hints of pepper and grass - perfect over ice with just a little simple syrup and lime juice, maybe a rim of spicy salt. Tequila cocktails first, offering to help you make all your Pinterest project come true is next.
Named for the reverend who supposedly invented bourbon by aging corn whisky in oak barrels, Elijah Craig is a solid "low rye" whiskey from major Kentucky house Heaven Hill. This small-batch is an excellent everyday drinking cocktail whiskey, with all the classic flavors you want from bourbon: brown sugar, caramel, heavy oak, and molasses. Make up a batch of Manhattans or Old Fashioneds when friends drop by, or gift to your wedding party to say thanks for standing by you on the big day.
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.

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."
As romantic as a stolen dance with an old crush — oh hey wait, they just agreed to marry you! If you’re going to mark the moment, use something permanent, like perhaps the #1 best-selling Scotch whisky in the US going on several decades. Glenlivet's award-winning whiskies always rack up awards and critical acclaim, but maybe none quite like the 18-year Single Malt. Balanced, elegant, old gold in color — exactly what you would expect from an aged scotch of this caliber. Hopefully you'll be as smooth on the dance floor during that long-awaited, surreal first forever love song.
