H. Deringer Bourbon Gift Set with Two Pistols and Two Glasses

This is a Kentucky bourbon with a sweet, easygoing streak. Five years in the barrel and a finish in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks give it plenty of dried-fruit character without turning heavy. Caramel and cherry lead, with raisin sitting just underneath and vanilla smoothing out the edges. Cocoa and baking spice show up late and keep the sweetness in check.

At 93 proof (46.5% ABV), it has enough weight to stand up in an old fashioned but stays comfortable on its own over ice. It is the kind of bourbon you can pour on a weeknight without thinking too hard about it.

The set pairs the bottle with two pistol-shaped decanters and two glasses, packaged together and ready to hand over as-is. It makes an easy gift for someone who already drinks bourbon and would rather have something to pour from than another gadget.
