The 54 Best Valentine’s Day Gifts for Whiskey Lovers.

Mark Twain once wrote, “Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough.” This Valentine’s Day, surprise the whiskey aficionado in your life with just the right amount of the distilled alcoholic beverage—and accompanying goodies, of course.

To the whiskey superfan, it’s not just a drink, but a whole world to explore filled with rich history, a wide variety of styles and expressions, and a seemingly endless array of gadgets and tchotchkes to elevate each sip. It’s a phenomenon that’s international, transporting your palate to Scotland, Ireland, Kentucky, Japan, and beyond.

Much like any great hobby, whiskey appreciation is much more about the journey than the destination and the proper accoutrement helps you get there. The spirit’s revered status amongst both amateur and experienced imbibers means whiskey—and its accompanying glassware, books, decor, and even board games—often makes for a memorable gift.
