Finding the right holiday gift doesn’t need to feel like a scavenger hunt through the crowded streets of SoHo. If holiday whiskey gifts are on your list, Great Jones Distilling Co. makes it simple. This guide to NYC whiskey gifts brings together the best of the city’s craft and character, from bold spirits to Art Deco barware, smoky candles, and stylish accessories made right here in New York.
Bourbon and Rye Whiskey Gifts for True Connoisseurs
First, let’s start with the whiskeys that make a gift unforgettable. Great Jones Straight Bourbon is one of the best bourbon gifts available, greeting the nose with toasted notes, creamy vanilla, and a hint of dry corn, and finishing with a lingering peppery warmth. Our Wheated Straight Bourbon blends baking spices, cocoa, and orchard fruits into a rich, layered sip. For a bold twist, the Great Jones Rye Whiskey delivers orchard sweetness, warm vanilla, and signature Empire Rye spice that leaves a sharp, lasting bite. Each bottle is crafted using 100% locally sourced grain and water from New York’s Hudson Valley, reflecting the spirit of true New York craft whiskey. Whether curating a rye whiskey gift, bourbon gift box, or whiskey gift set, each bottle shapes a whiskey tasting set that’s delivered right to your door.
Sleek Whiskey Gifts Straight from Manhattan
Of course, the finest whiskey deserves an atmosphere to match. Our Crystal Rocks Glasses, etched with the Great Jones logo, bring crystal clarity and a touch of glamour to any bar cart. Then there’s the Speakeasy Candle, a Great Jones x Harlem Candle Co. collaboration inspired by New York’s hidden lounges. Its notes of smoked incense, bourbon, and cardamom evoke the hush and heat of a late-night pour. These are whiskey gifts that ship with ease and carry that unmistakable New York touch, ideal for hosts, collectors, or anyone who cares about the vibe as much as the pour.
Send the Taste of NYC: Whiskey Holiday Bundles
For the out-out-state family member who needs a true taste of New York, a whiskey holiday bundle delivers the full Great Jones experience straight to their door. The Jones Parlor Bundle adds a lounge-worthy twist with two crystal rocks glasses, and a bottle Great Jones Straight Bourbon. Or, if you’re introducing someone to the world of whiskey, the Whiskey Taster Bundle includes our most popular bourbon plus a set of tasting glasses. Remember – these deliver right to your door regardless if you’re in the NY tri-state area, so if commuting downtown during the holidays is out of the question, let us make whiskey delivery easy.
Whiskey Gift Ideas for Everyone on Your List
For the Creative Who Moonlights As A Whiskey Connoisseur
For your Brooklyn creative friend (AKA, the one who happily art directs their Instagram feed), the magic is in the details, and our whiskey accessories prove them right. The Great Jones Gold Ring, crafted in New York City in collaboration with Bing Bang NYC, carries a flash of 14K gold vermeil and our signature big apple seal. It’s a timeless design with a downtown edge. The Great Jones x Bicycle® Playing Cards bring that same mix of polish and play, with foil-embossed art deco lines and matte-black packaging made for nights spent in good company.
Cocktail Gift Sets for Home Mixologists
Our barware balances elegance with purposeful design, making it a standout gift for the mixologist in your circle. Whiskey Taster Glasses capture aromas, focus flavor, and let each pour tell its story. The Gold Teardrop Bar Spoon, crafted with NYC’s Cocktail Kingdom, is perfectly weighted for stirring, muddling, and layering, adding polished downtown style to the bar. For anyone seeking thoughtful whiskey gift ideas, these pieces turn cocktail hour into a true ritual and prove that taste is in the details.
Whiskey Gifts for the West Village/SoHo Fashion Icon
For the tastemaker who makes every detail count, our apparel combines quality, versatility, and effortless style. The unisex Great Jones Heavy Weight Label Tee exemplifies this ethos, crafted from recycled heavyweight fabric with a clean, tailored silhouette. It’s the kind of piece that looks custom on anyone and pairs perfectly with a whiskey gift box or bourbon gift set. Our styling recommendation? Layer with a dark blazer, statement jewelry, and a baseball cap.
