The 5 Best Whiskeys To Give Mom For Mother’s Day

Sometimes motherhood can be challenging, and we want to treat mom with all the love she has poured out to us over the years. So, forget chocolate and red wine- trust us. With Mother’s Day this weekend, we have curated the perfect list of Whiskey your mom will love as a gift.

Buffalo Trace Antique Collection: George T. Stagg 2020

Buffalo Trace Antique Collection: George T. Stagg 2020

Mom deserves the best of the best, and if you can afford it (or find it for that matter), Buffalo Trace Antique Collection: George T. Stagg is the whiskey to buy.

Retailing for around $900, it will not disappoint in flavor. It boasts lots of oak, and will easily become mom’s favorite dram, as well as make you her new favorite child.

Wild Turkey 101 Rye

Wild Turkey is a popular brand and far easier to find than George T Stagg. Wild Turkey 101 Rye is a complex pour and can be enjoyed neat or in a cocktail. While it’s not the most complex rye, but drinkers can expect flavors of brown sugar, pepper, clove, and fresh-baked rolls that all work really nicely together.

Purchase a bottle here.

Aberfeldy 12yr

If Mom needs a drink with a bit more peat, Aberfeldy 12 is the one to grab. It’s sweet on the palate with Cream, apples and some pepper. The scotch retails for about $40 so it won’t break the bank if you’re on a budget.

It’s also readily available for purchase here.

1792 Bottled in Bond

1792 Bottled in Bond is a popular bourbon that is a reminder of a banana split, with nuts on top. This is well priced at about $70 and goes well in any cocktail, she will be happy to have it in her home bar.

Redbreast 15 Year Old

Redbreast 15-year-old Irish Whiskey is a highly rated whiskey for under $100. It’s extremely complex, and not near as rare as Stagg, but will make mom just as happy.
