Spirited Gifts for Everyone On Your List

For the grown-ups on your shopping list, we’ve gathered our most spirited gift ideas that pair perfectly with a bottle of Brother Justus American Single Malt Whiskey. From classic cocktail essentials to reimagined bar accessories, there’s something for everyone to cheer about—no gift receipt needed!

 

Travel Bar Set

Have expert-level bar tools, will travel. Whether it’s over the river and through the woods or down the street to the neighbors, the resident cocktail-maker on your list will be ready to shake things up anywhere with this six-piece set, tucked into a handsome canvas carrying bag.

Available at Viski ($80)

Classic Bar Cart

We’re pretty sure that Brother Justus himself would approve of this mid-century-inspired cart fashioned from sustainable FSC®-certified wood, with open shelves to show off your finest spirits. We like that it’s designed to move with the party.

Available at West Elm ($319)

 

Customizable Ice Cube Tray

The only thing better than a single, oversized slow-melting rock to maintain optimal temp and flavor while they sip? Personalized cubes with their name, logo, or a signature icon on them.

Available at Siligrams ($59)

 

Vermouth

These decadent liqueurs made with infused distilled spirits will take their Manhattan or Negroni game to the next level. We are partial to Brother Justus Whiskey Company Assenzio sweet vermouth-style liqueur we hand-crafted with mulling spices and red wine, but other ambrosial options like Carpano Antica Formula Vermouth, available at fine liquor stores and online.

Carpano Antica available at Total Wine & More and your local liquor stores (~$39)

Angostura Orange Bitters

Not all bitters are created equal. Angostura orange bitters are a great choice for making Old Fashioneds and our pick for a whiskey-lover stocking stuffer. Psst: a few dashes can sub for orange zest in your holiday recipes!

Available at Total Wine & More or your local liquor store (~$13)

 

Teardrop Stir Spoon

Never underestimate the superpowers of a professional-grade spoon for cocktails that call to be stirred, not shaken. The weighted teardrop topper on this one lends balance to the cocktail-stirring efforts of any home mixologist.

Available at Cocktail Kingdom ($35)

 

Luxardo Maraschino Cherries

The darling of a classic Manhattan, these dense, sweet-tart Italian delicacies are made with prized marasca cherries—not the technicolor ones of your youth. Slip a jar onto your host’s bar and you’ll be welcomed back anytime.

Available at Williams-Sonoma and fine liquor stores (~$20)

 

Glencairn glasses

For the whiskey connoisseur, nothing tops this staple glass for serious whiskey tasting. The Glencairn’s wide bowl encourages swirling to release aromas, enhanced further by its signature tulip shape meant for savoring them. Cheers!

Available at Crate & Barrel ($10)

Love & Whiskey by Fawn Weaver

This book isn't just about whiskey—it’s a historical homage to Nathan “Nearest” Green, the first known African American master distiller, and his unsung contributions to the creation of Jack Daniel's whiskey. Weaver not only paints a remarkable account of Green’s legendary gifts to the spirit world, but founded and leads his namesake distillery, Uncle Nearest.

Available at Bookshop.org and other major retailers ($26)
