Now that you have some idea of what they were talking about, it’s time to head out to the stores. Some of those bottles will be unfindable because either they are allocated or not in season (many bottles only come out one time a year). If you can, try to fit in the question “what are some bottles you’ve been trying to find recently that you haven’t been able to?”īe realistic about the fact that you’re not going to know what they just said, so try to write it down. Unfortunately at this point, they may drone on for a while so just be patient and try to jot down the brand names they’ve listed. If you’ve got your recipient to tell you which kind of whiskey they are into, now would be the time to nudge them into the direction of “what are your favorite brands?” If they only tell you a brand that they like, remember it and look it up later see which category it falls into.
There are many differences, so try to get your recipient to tell you if they like Bourbon, Rye Whiskey, Scotch Whisky, Irish Whisky or something else. The first most important thing to recognize about the person you are buying whiskey for is to understand what kind of whiskey they like.Īll too many times, a bourbon lover will get a bottle of Scotch or an Irish Whisky lover will get a bottle of Jack Daniels. Desirable bottles for the whiskey lover in your life Be kind, drop your hints early and be specific. So keep in mind that they are probably only going to have the luck of what is on a store shelf, not the secret access you do with your local liquor store owner. Instead of telling someone “I like bourbon,” you’d be better served by telling them “I like Four Roses.” Just remember that when a non-whiskey person starts asking a whiskey person about whiskey questions, they’re not trying to learn from you, they’re trying to buy you something. I have found it to be infinitely more helpful to narrow it down as much as saying the particular brand that you like the most. Trust me on this one, many people just have no clue on what separates bourbon from rye whiskey from Scotch.
