I wanted to mix things up a little bit today and throw together some must-have items for those nights when you want to toss a few back. We’ve got all the boozy essentials including whiskey, the glassware, some stogies, and all of the apparel and accessories to go along with it. You can shop the full collection or pick and choose your favorites by following any of the links below!
I’ve always enjoyed port wine but I truly fell in love with the stuff on a trip two years back to the Douro Valley in Portugal where the world’s port stocks come from. And I think it should go without saying but I’m a big fan of whiskey in general. That’s why I was VERY excited to sample the Angel’s Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Tawny Port Wine Barrels which was recently released.
We are early in 2020 but for me, this is already the front-runner for best whiskey release of the year. Beginning this weekend (February 8), people will have the chance to purchase one of the limited-run bottles. Only 5,400 bottles are available across KY, CA, FL, IL, NY and TN. This whiskey has a gorgeously nuanced nose of oak and dried fruit that is complemented by black pepper, cinnamon spice, toasted nuts, and clove on the tongue. The smooth finish lingers with hints of chocolate. $249 is NOT cheap but this expression is well worth it.
The Whiskey Peaks American Mountains (Set of 4) pay tribute to our nation’s greatest mountain peaks which in this case includes Half Dome, Denali, Mt. Rainer, and Mt. Whitney. They are designed in SF and made from 100% lead-free handblown glass.
I’m loving the clean lines on the Suit Iron Sweater in Navy. This sweater also comes in Grey Malange, Golden Brown, and Dark Brown if you’re looking for a different colorway. The insulating wool fabric is strong so this sweater will keep its perfect shape over the seasons.
You can pair that sweater with these Wellen Standard Chinos in Slate. These classy pants give you a classic chino silhouette with modern comfort and craftsmanship.
The Rhodes Footwear Dean Boots have a cap toe and the premium calf leather uppers are breathable and odor-resistant. The Texon® insole has a thermal layer and anti-shock foam layer which together give you that all-day comfort you need in a pair of boots to wear to work, school, or when traveling. These are handcrafted in Portugal and the sole of these boots is resolable in case you never need to have the sole replaced years down the line.
Next up is the Timex Beekman Watch which has an INDIGLO® lume so you can easily read this watch in the darkest conditions. This is a Todd Snyder x Timex collaboration that’s truly elevated the vintage Timex design for a finished timepiece that looks stunning.
You’ll want to keep your tables and countertops clean and for that, you’ve got the Huckberry Leather Coaster Pack which includes these Buck Brown leather coasters handmade in Massachusetts. These are constructed out of full-grain bridle leather from Wickett & Craig in England.
Now that the day is done you can kick back, relax, sip on that Bourbon, and fire up the Good Cigar Co. 2 Pack of Cigars with a buddy. This kit includes two of their best (and identical) cigars, a guide to tasting notes of the cigars, and they come sealed in a package with a perfect 72% humidity. It also comes with a double guillotine cigar cutter + branded matches to light up and enjoy.
We round it out today with the WP Standard Small Card Wallet. This minimalist slim wallet has two credit card slots, a central cash compartment, a designated ID slot, and it’s reinforced with nylon thread so it stays together for years.
Last up is the Bellroy Notebook Cover Mini + Pen. I don’t know about you guy, but when I start drinking my mind starts to race. It’s like the engine of my brain gets revved up by high-quality Bourbon and sometimes I’ll need a pen and notebook to keep track of those thoughts on the fly.
