Valentines Day Gift Idea for Whiskey and Chocolate Lovers

Rural Moms, I imagine many of you are stuck in the same predicament I am – after celebrating numerous holidays with my rural hubby, gift giving gets a little tough… what do you get for the man you have already gotten “everything” for?

So when I spot a clever gift, like the Whiskey Explorer Scout Valentine’s Day Gift Set, you know it’s a keeper!  And it will be a huge win in the gift-giving category for that special someone in your life who loves a good Whiskey (or as we Kentuckians prefer, Bourbon.)

The Whiskey Explorer Scout Valentine’s Day Gift Set includes:

* One (1) tasting flight of five (5) 30mL bottles containing a broad range of great whiskies from around the world.

The sampler of whiskies arrives packaged in a nifty container, each one wax sealed with no brand or age identity.  Which is where the fun begins.  As the gift recipient samples each whiskey, they have instructions on how to unmask each whiskey’s identity on a special website.  In addition to discovering the whiskey identity, they can also test their whiskey IQ, add whiskey ratings, and trade notes with other whiskey lovers.

Experiencing a blind taste test is a unique and rewarding experience.  By the second sample in our set, my husband and I were amazed by how much our knowledge and understanding of the complexities of fine whiskey grew.

* Two (2) bars of exquisite artisanal chocolate, hand crafted by the Mast Brothers of Brooklyn NY, personally selected to pair beautifully with the whiskies included in the sample flight by ForScotchLovers Managing Editor Ian Buxton.

Chocolate…. really, really, really exquisite chocolate.  Need I say more?  Well, I will.  These are no ordinary chocolates and when paired with the whiskies they offer an incredibly indulgent experience.

And did I mention they are really, really, truly exquisite chocolates?

* A copy of the best-selling book “101 Whiskies to Try Before You Die” signed by author/ ForScotchLovers Managing Editor Ian Buxton

Whether you are a whiskey pro fan, a whiskey novice, or just simply curious about whiskey 101 Whiskies to Try Before You Die is a fabulous read.  Full color illustrations, history, facts, and reviews on the best, affordable whiskies pepper the pages of this wonderous guide.

Well designed for enthusiasts who do not have oodles of bucks to afford absurdly expensive or obscure whiskies.  Rural hubby and I were pleased to see several fine Kentucky offerings among those suggested… though that was no surprised, after all we do live in the Bourbon belt of America.

* A complimentary Glencairn Nosing & Tasting Crystal Glass with a unique shape and style, crafted to enhance your whiskey tasting experience.

This little glass is stunning in its design, allowing you to fully appreciate the color, body, nose, palate, and finish of the sample whiskies.  We are so sold on this glassware, that we are purchasing additional glasses for our own and for guest use.

Where do you get this fantastic gift?  The Whiskey Explorer Scout Valentines Day Gift Set can be found on the ForScotchLovers website at    – and if you hurry, you can still get an order in for Valentines Day. 

Our personal sampling led us to find three new whiskies we are adding to our private bar collection, all within a modest price range.  When you are finished sampling, stop back by and let’s compare notes!  I’d love to know what you sampled and found appealing.
