Best alcohol gifts for men

1. The best whiskey gifts for him

If you know a whiskey lover, treating him to a nice bottle is a great way to thank him for bringing joy to your life. Johnnie Walker Black Label is always a good choice. He can enjoy it neat, with ice, or craft a warming Old Fashioned cocktail.

If he has a discerning palate, consider Johnnie Walker Blue Label. It has a dynamic depth of character, offering notes of hazelnut, citrus fruit, vanilla and honey. It's an exceptional drink for the whiskey connoisseur and it's a truly remarkable gift.

On the other hand, if he's relatively new to whiskey and just started exploring the magic of this spirit, gift him a bottle of The Singleton. It's fresh, easy to drink, spicy yet sweet, and it makes a sublime cocktail.  

2. Say thank you with the gift of tequila

Whether it's to say thanks for always lending an ear or for always making you belly laugh, Christmas is a great opportunity to show him how much you appreciate him. If he's a tequila lover, toast his fabulousness with Don Julio. It's perfect for sipping or mixing the ultimate margarita. If your budget allows, consider Don Julio 1942 as the pinnacle tequila gift.

Looking for something a little fruitier? With notes of grapefruit and vanilla, a bottle of Casamigos Blanco will make him a very happy man. You can step things up even further and add a personal touch by engraving a bottle of tequila with a heartfelt message that’s sure to give him all the feels. Salud! 

3. Say it with a gin gift

Sipped straight or infused with unique flavors, gin is a gift that keeps giving. For the gin-lover in your life who always checks in on you and makes time to listen to you vent, you can't go wrong with a bottle of Tanqueray London Dry - it's such a classic!

It features the same timeless recipe since 1830, made from four classic gin botanicals including juniper, coriander, angelica and liquorice. He can pair it with tonic water and lime as a garnish to create his own perfect G&T.

Or if you want to gift something really special, consider gifting him a bottle of Tanqueray No.TEN. It's a premium gin with a citrusy and refreshing taste, perfect for making the best martinis in the world.  

4. Rum gifts to impress

Have a loved one who can't resist rum? There are some wonderful options to gift which can grace their cocktail bar cart or cabinet. Let's begin with Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum. The flavor notes of rich vanilla, brown sugar, warming spices and oak are perfect for colder weather. It mixes perfectly into a Cuba libre or he can try creating a rum version of the Cranberry Mule.

If you'd like a gift that really shows you care, think about Ron Zacapa XO. Crafted in Guatemala, Zacapa rum is the embodiment of patience, quality and master blending. It has notes of caramel, spices and fruit peel and comes beautifully presented in an elegant gift box which he'll want to keep too.  

5. Perfect non-alcoholic drinks as gifts

If you're gifting someone who isn't much of drinker, treat him to a bottle of a delicious alcohol-free drink that doesn't compromise on taste. We love a Seedlip Grove 42 with its citrus blend of Mediterranean orange, lemon peel, ginger and lemon grass and a sprinkle of peppercorn. He can use it to mix up tasty non-alcoholic drinks like a Grove & Tonic or Garden Sour.
