Christmas Liquor Gifts
Christmas liquor gifts from our Greenpoint shop: whiskey, tequila, mezcal, gin and minis for the stocking.
Holiday liquor gift sets
Few distilleries sell boxed sets, and the ones we get sell out early, so right now this row is minis. A set is easy to build: one full bottle plus two or three 50 mL minis of something different.
We don't gift-wrap yet, so buy the bottles here and wrap them at home.
- Tequila fanA reposado bottle plus 1800 Reposado and Campo Azul minis.
- Whiskey fanA bourbon plus a few Rebel 100 minis.
- Stocking stufferEl Dorado 12 rum or a Baileys mini.
1800 Reposado 50ML$5.00
Whiskey and bourbon gifts
Bourbon is American whiskey made mostly from corn, so it tastes sweeter, with vanilla and caramel. Rye is spicier and drier. One question decides the gift: does the person sip it neat or mix cocktails?
- Sips it neatJames E. Pepper Barrel Proof Rye or Wight's Old Reserve Bourbon.
- Mixes Old FashionedsRittenhouse Bottled in Bond Rye, $37.
- Just getting into whiskeyFour Roses Bourbon, smooth and $30.

Scotch gifts
Scotch is whisky made in Scotland and aged at least three years. Single malt comes from one distillery; blended Scotch mixes several. The big question is smoke: whiskies from Islay taste of peat smoke, and people either love it or don't.
- Loves smokeArdbeg Ten or the Laphroaig 9 Year.
- Not sureGlenfiddich 15 or Deanston, fruity and smooth.
- The splurgeThe Macallan 12 Double Cask.

Tequila and mezcal gifts
Good tequila says 100% agave on the label. Blanco is unaged and tastes most of the plant; reposado and añejo rest in barrels and pick up vanilla. Mezcal is also made from agave, roasted in a pit, so it tastes smoky.
