Every family has at least one — you know, that cousin, aunt, uncle, brother, sister, father, mother or grandparent who enjoys nothing better than a nip of whiskey in the evening. That person might also be someone for whom it is difficult to shop.

Whiskey and Rum Making Kits

The holidays will soon be upon us, and what better way to say “happy holidays” than with a whiskey making kit. No, they do not come with alcohol, but they do have everything else that you will need to make your own whiskey. In fact, these kits are so easy to use that you might just decide to get one for yourself, too!

Anyone can become a professional bootlegger for any gathering or get-together. With one of these kits on hand, you will be able to treat your friends to any one of a wide variety of whiskey flavors.

If you give this ideal gift to that special someone, that person will not need a distillery to age and then season his or her favorite whiskeys like a professional. The kits even come to you complete with a barrel! Aside from that, they have your choice of a flavor as well as a cleaning kit for the barrel, a funnel and complete, easy-to-read and highly detailed instructions for use.

The barrel in question is one that is just like the massive ones that are found at distilleries but sized just right for use in a private home. The barrel is used to age your whiskey to the peak flavor. Take the art of mixology into your own hands when you make your own signature whiskey.

To get started, you will need to cure the barrel and then pour alcohol into it. This alcohol should be a neutral flavored vodka or grain alcohol. Add a bottle of the whiskey essence to it. Shake it up to ensure that all of the ingredients are well mixed. Then, just sit back and wait for it to age for about two weeks, and it will be perfectly aged and ready for you and your friends or family to enjoy.

What better way to say “I appreciate you” than with one of these lovely little whiskey making kits?
