One of my favorite things to do around the holidays really anytime, but especially the holidays is cracking open a bottle of bourbon and sharing a conversation between sips with friends and family. And I love getting bourbon as a gift. Really, any bourbon is good bourbon. Jim Beam and Maker’s are iconic for a reason.
But getting a bottle you haven’t tried or that does something a bit different in terms of flavor profile from the standard bearers is a really nice gift. I’ve put together a quick list of recommendations below. These are all favorites of mine and you really can’t go wrong with any of them. And if you’ve got someone in mind that doesn’t drink, I’ve got a recommendation for a nice Yeti mug below.
