It's not too hard too pick out a gift for a whisky lover - a nice single malt will always be gratefully received. However, if you want something that will last a little longer, maybe to mark a special occasion, or if you just want something a little different and of the non-liquid variety, there are plenty of options available for you. Here's just a few suggestions.
You don't need to decant whisky. It's not like wine, exposure to air won't improve (or impair) the flavor. However, a nice whisky decanter certainly looks the part on the sideboard or table and can definitely add to the enjoyment of a glass or two of Scotland's most famous export.
You can find decanters on their own or with matching glasses. Either way, any whisky lover would be delighted to receive a whisky decanter as a gift.
Don't forget, you can always engrave a message if you want to mark an important date or occasion.
A whisky flask is another great idea for a personalized gift. Etch or engrave your message, a set of initials or a date, and you'll have a lovely gift for the whisky buff in your life.
These flasks come in all shapes, sizes and materials - and they don't need to cost a fortune. You can find some very nice stainless steel ones for well under $10, although you can choose much more expensive ones if you wish.
The right whisky glass will make drinking whisky even more enjoyable. Choose from a traditional, cut crystal tumbler or try the Glencairn whisky glass, which is specially shaped to enhance the aroma of the whisky and channel it towards the taster's nose.
A set of nice whisky glasses will always be well received by whisky lovers.
