Bourbon For Groomsmen

Tue, Jun 06, 23  |  spirits blog

Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials, Mr. Husband-To-Be! Your set of tasks for the Big Day includes gifts for your groomsmen. May we suggest Bourbon? Besides being crazy popular, giving a bottle to the guys in your party is a fitting gesture for the occasion. Here are a few suggestions for every budget and palate.

Value

Maybe you’re on a tight budget or have groomsmen who are just getting familiar with Bourbon. Old Grand-Dad Bottled in Bond is a good call. It’s a high-rye Bourbon full of vanilla, fruit and sweet corn. Makes a great cocktail mixer at an affordable price.

Choice

Four Roses Small Batch. This distillery is a consistent award winner, and their Small Batch expression is one reason why. Ripened red berries greet the palate, along with dried spice and a hint of caramel. The finish is long and smooth—just like your marriage.

Splurge

If you’re aiming for top shelf Bourbon, Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style is a wonderful choice. There’s rich flavor in this 115 proof stunner; nuts, graham cracker, green peppercorn and a hint of cedar lead to a long, smoky-sweet finish. This bottle will bring smiles to the guys in your party.

There are a LOT more choices available for your celebration at Colonial. We can put together gift baskets for your groomsmen that include the above Bourbons and glassware, cocktail ingredients or bar tools. Just call or come by and we’ll help you make wedding day memories!
