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.
Sláinte Cuffed Beanie
$25

Whisky is great any time of the year, but there’s something about its warming powers in the colder months; just like this black cuffed beanie. Simple, stylish, and a definite conversation starter.
Doma Whiskey Barrel Aged Coffee
$28/12 oz.

Maker’s Mark Bar Mat
$30

No home bar is complete without a bar mat. It creates a workspace for easy clean-up, protects the bar surface, and prevents glassware and bottles from sliding around.
Buffalo Trace Christmas Stocking
$40

While a stocking might not be the best stocking stuffer, it works as a bottle bag to wrap a bottle in. Next year, it will be hung by the chimney with care; hoping a bottle of bourbon soon will be there.
