Bourbon Nosing Kit from NoseYourBourbon.com

It doesn’t matter if you’re brand new to whiskey or a seasoned veteran, learning how to taste whiskey and understand its complexities is no easy task. I was personally blown away by the thought put into the NoseYourBourbon Kit. The creator puts together an amazing set of nosing materials, complete with instructions for nosing your whiskey alongside these core aromatics. Nose Your Bourbon elects to use actual real ingredients like Corn, Leather, Dried Cherries, and Chocolate (among others) for a side-by-side sniffing experience, helping whiskey enthusiasts hone their palate.

To use the Nose Your Bourbon Kit, simply give an ingredient a sniff, then sniff your bourbon or whiskey (preferably from a nosing glass). This will help draw out the aromas that are actually present in your whiskey, and now you’re on your way to being a pro.

Various size nosing kits and bundles are available from The Vintage Gentleman, NoseYourBourbon.com, and Etsy starting at $70 (though, I’m told a $30 version may be coming). This is a gift every bourbon dad should have for their hobby.

Cocktail Sets

One great gift that can never miss is a good cocktail set. And I’m not talking about shakers and strainers (though that’s a great idea, too). I’m talking the actual ingredients to a great cocktail.

You can either go down to the local liquor store and/or grocery store and pick up all the ingredients yourself, or check out some of the complete cocktail kits from Reserve Bar.

Father’s Day Gift Baskets from TheBroBasket.com

A lot of people buy flowers for Mothers Day, but that won’t swing it for dad. A great alternative, however, is a super cool gift basket. The BroBasket offers really great options at various price points. For instance, the Bite of Bourbon Basket starts at $59 and comes with four 50mL bottles of bourbon (Knob Creek, Bulleit, Woodford Reserve, and Maker’s Mark), as well as some snacks, a tumbler, and a Coca-Cola for mixing. There’s also the Ultimate Whiskey Sampler Basket that comes with TEN different whiskeys, from bourbon to scotch.

If neither of those options tickle your fancy, you can create your own basket for as little as $40, or shop a wide variety of other cool Fathers Day friendly gift baskets.

Bar Accessories

Whiskey Decanters are perfect for storing a favorite whiskey or starting an infinity bottle (a blend of whiskeys from your home bar). Good glassware is also essential to enjoying bourbon. You can either go with a classic Etched Whiskey Decanter set, or up the game with a Personalized Decanter that’s customized to the father figure in your life.

You can also look for other great accessories like smoke boxes and whiskey stones, all of which make wonderful whiskey gifts for men.

Of course, you can always just head down to the local whiskey store a pick up dad’s favorite bourbon. Make sure you also check out our other gift ideas. What are you getting him Father’s Day this year?

Bourbon Sampler Gift

Now it’s important to note that this is NOT a subscription box. Think of this as the 1-800-Flowers or Edible Arrangement, but for those of the masculine nature. Certainly there are plenty of women who would also enjoy these boxes, but from a marketing perspective the target demographic is clearly guys.

So, when you’re thinking of a Congratulations, or Thinking of You gift for men, BroBasket is the best alternative to flowers or chocolates (but you might still find some chocolate in a BroBasket). It’s the ultimate delivery gift for friends and relatives you might not see in person, or want to deliver something to the office. For birthdays, Father’s Day, Valentine’s Day, and anniversaries, these gift boxes are some of the best gift options out there — and I promise I’m not just saying that. Let’s take a look at some options, especially their Whiskey Sampler boxes.

BroBasket Whiskey Boxes

Ultimate Whiskey Sampler from BroBasket

The best value in gift baskets is definitely the BroBasket Ultimate Whiskey Sampler Box. For only $99, your giftee will gets TEN different whiskeys, from Scotch to bourbon. That’s ten different whiskeys in 50ml sample bottles, which allows the receiver to enjoy, share, and compare bourbons like Woodford Reserve and Bulleit, as well as scotches like McCallan Double Cask 12. You’ve got to see the full list. It also comes with snacks and tumbler.

You could also go with the slightly more affordable Bite of Bourbon Basket. Fewer drinks, but a great haul for bourbon lovers.

Craft Whiskey Gift Basket

If you’re looking for something more unique, whether as a gift or for yourself, a craft whiskey gift basket could get you there. The Westland Single Malt Collection is a great option to start with. Westland craft distillery is located in Seattle, Washington and this basket samples the American Oak, Peated, and Sherry Wood expression of this amazing American Single Malt Whiskey. Each of these baskets comes with three 200mL bottles, an 11oz whiskey tumbler, and a spherical ice mold.

Man Cave Box

So, BroBasket’s whiskey boxes are highly configurable and let you build just the right gift. Let’s talk about the perks of the BroBasket Man Cave Box. It comes standard with a 750ml bottle of Maker’s Mark. That accounts for $35 of the $120 price tag on this box, and if you want to swap out the bourbon for something more affordable (or more expensive) you can do that, too. In addition to the bourbon, this BroBasket also comes with:

• Two rocks glasses
• A flask
• Whiskey stones
• Playing cards
• Beef Jerky
• AND MORE.

Now, in my opinion, that’s all well worth the price tag.

All to say, I think BroBasket is one of the best new trends in the gift-giving world. It’s a great way to find whiskey online, customize a gift, and deliver just the right homage to a loved one. I highly recommend browsing their site and seeing everything they have to offer, from craft beer to whiskey to booze-free boxes.
