Yes, Valentine’s Day is this weekend!
Flowers or chocolate are kind of predictable, don’t you think? How about a nice bottle of something delicious and fun to celebrate with your someone special? Here are some ideas:
1. Rare Scotch.
Laphroaig 30 year scotch
How about a nice bottle of Scotch? People who drink Scotch are thrilled when they receive a really nice, unusual bottle. Something to treasure, sip and savor, and share with special friends who appreciate it.
Our best Scotch suggestion right now is Laphroaig 30 year, which we have on sale for only $150 (reg. $225). It’s extraordinarily smooth and rich, with the expected peaty flavor that Laphroaig is known for, but in spades. It also has a hint of sweetness that helps balance out the sea air that you find in older scotches, making it one of the better rare blends.
We also have many, many other common and rare scotch whiskies to choose from – by far the most anywhere around, so you’ll have plenty of choices across price ranges and even regions within Scotland.
2. Champagne!
Nothing says Romance like a bottle of Bubbly!
It’s true that nothing says Romance like a bottle of the Bubbly. It’s a great thing to share on Valentine’s evening, maybe after dinner as a nightcap?
If you like the sweeter varieties of Bubbly, we have a wide range of Moscatos and other sweeter bubblies that will hit the spot.
If you like the classic dry type, we’ve got plenty of Bruts and Extra Drys to choose from.
For the in-between choice, we suggest a Prosecco from Italy. We can show you a couple of nice bottles here, too.
To splurge, we suggest either the Armand de Brignac, which is made in only one small cellar with crazy obsessive attention to detail, or the classic Dom Perignon.
Whatever you prefer, we’ve got well over 60 different choices of Bubbly to make your day special.
3. A Barrel of Bourbon
Home Whiskey-Making Kit
This is a fun gift for any whiskey-loving guy.
With this kit, you get to make your own whiskey at home. It includes 2 bottles of the “white dog” spirit, the barrel to age it in, and thorough instructions.
Also available, a home-size barrel that comes free with a 1.75L bottle of Jim Beam Black, built so that you can serve the whiskey from the barrel tap. Slick.
4. Rare and Small Batch Bourbons
Small Batch Bourbon Collection
We have the largest collection of rare and small batch bourbons you’ll find anywhere around.
Pictured here is a collection of the 4 small batch bourbons made by the company that does Jim Beam and Maker’s Mark. They come in a beautiful hardwood display case that looks great on any mantle, bar or cabinet.
We also have some left of the sought-after annual releases of the small batch collection that includes the Pappy Van Winkles and George T. Stagg, among others.
And, we have a bunch of other unusual and hard-to-find but very nicely made bourbons.
5. A nice bottle of Cabernet. (Or Pinot Noir, or Chardonnay, or whatever your honey loves…)
How About A Nice Bottle of Wine?
There are lots of choices here, but giving a nice bottle of wine to someone who really appreciates wine – or just someone who enjoys a nice glass once in a while – makes for a great evening.
Whether it’s to be aged for years as a commemoration of your relationship, or enjoyed with dinner or as a nightcap, wine hits the spot.
We have tons and tons of choices for you, across all price ranges, and our team can ask you a few questions to help you decide on just the right bottle.
6. Great Cigars
Great Cigars
Our fine cigar collection is one of the best kept secrets in town. We have two large humidors that hold a broad range of cigars at exactly the right humidity until you select them.
We have cigars of all different types and price ranges, including sampler packs, gift packs, and some of the top-rated cigars in the most recent Cigar Afficionado rankings.
And, we have knowledgeable people on staff that can help you know what to choose for the person you’re giving it to.
Hope that helps you with some interesting Valentine’s Ideas. If there is something unusual and special that you’re looking for and by some chance we don’t already have it on hand, be sure to get to us by 4pm Thursday with any special orders so that we can have what you want in time for the weekend.
Cheers!
