Fill Your Whisky Lover's Christmas Stocking With These Gifts

December 11, 2023 –––––– Whisky Advocate, , , ,

Stocking stuffers are usually the Christmas items to be purchased last, but they can also be first on the list of most fun and memorable of gifts on Christmas morning. We've assembled a list of small items for your whisky lover's stocking, though there are plenty more in Santa's workshop, of course. A bottle of whisky is perhaps a bit too large for the average foot, but many whisky makers offer their products in smaller bottles—Blanton's, for example, is available in a three-pack of 50 mini bottles, and numerous other whisky makers do similar things. Distillery gift shops are also fantastic places to hunt for hidden mini-treasures, whether they be whiskies or other modest little gems.
