We\u2019re not exactly sure how the year has flown by this quickly, but the holiday shopping season is here. The summer-to-fall transition has begun, the autumn holidays are approaching, and before we know it, dining tables across the country will be set for Thanksgiving dinner. So, we figured this year we\u2019d get a bit of a head start on our holiday gift lists.<\/p>\n

You probably know someone who is always happy to enjoy a cocktail with you, but do you have any friends or family who specifically love bourbon? Most likely yes. For anyone who isn\u2019t a seasoned whiskey drinker, you might be confused about the differences between whiskey, bourbon, and Scotch. You might also be a little unsure of which at-home bar gifts your bourbon-loving friend would adore. Well, we\u2019re here to help.<\/p>\n

First off, let\u2019s break down the three terms we just mentioned. Whiskey (also spelled \u201cWhisky,\u201d when referring to Scottish, Canadian, or Japanese grain spirits instead of those made in the United States or Ireland) is a general term for an alcoholic liquor made from fermented mashed grains. Under that umbrella lives bourbon and scotch. Bourbon is specifically whiskey<\/a> that is made from a grain mixture that is at least 51 percent corn and Scotch is whisky that’s made in Scotland and \u201cgets its distinctive smoky flavor from the process in which it is made: the grain, primarily barley, is malted and then heated over a peat fire,\u201d according to Eater in a 2019 breakdown<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now that we\u2019re all set on the basic terminology, it’s time to dive into the 11 best glasses, accessories, and treats any whiskey fan (and bourbon lover) will be ecstatic to unwrap.<\/p>\n

1. Hand-Etched Diamond Cut Crystal Whiskey Glass & Decanter<\/a>, $147+<\/h3>\n

To decant or not to decant? Anyone who loves whiskey probably has their own opinion of whether it\u2019s worth storing it in a decanter<\/a> or not. If the person you’re shopping for sits on the pro-decanter side of things (or you’re trying to convince them that it\u2019s worth the extra step), give them this crystal whiskey glass and decanter pair. Each piece is mouth-blown by master craftsmen in the Czech Republic from pure crystal and then hand-cut in a tight diamond pattern.<\/p>\n

3. MATCH Italian Pewter & Crystal Whiskey Snifter Glass<\/a>, $97<\/h3>\n

Any serious bourbon drinker should have at least one snifter glass in their collection. Thanks to the round bottom and narrow mouth of a snifter glass, the aromas are trapped (or concentrated), so you can experience them each time you take a sip. Plus, the small stem helps to prevent your hand from warming up your whiskey or bourbon of choice. This one from MATCH<\/a> is made of pewter and crystal and is handmade in Italy, helping you sip in style.<\/p>\n

Still in a julep state of mind, this ice crusher kit is a fun gift for any whiskey lover who loves to host.
