J.P. Wiser’s 10-Year-Old Triple Barrel Whisky, $34.95 CAD [AD]

One of Canada’s oldest and continuously produced whiskies has introduced an all-new 10-Year-Old Triple Barrel addition to their lineup just in time for the incoming holiday party circuit. This bold but oh-so smooth premium whisky is aged for ten years in new white oak casks which were once used for American bourbon and seasoned Canadian whisky. The result is a full yet balanced body with notes of honeycomb toffee, vanilla, caramel, dried fruits, rye spices on the nose with subtle undertones of green apple and pear for a complex finish. On the palate, you’ll notice notes of orange and rye bread with hints of black licorice and clove which are sure to make you feel warm and cozy.

Pour it out neat or on the rocks, and be sure to dress it up a little for the holidays in a nice crystal glass. For the mixologists, this is one of the most versatile spirits to work with at the holidays; it pairs perfectly with spiced mulled cider, mixes effortlessly in a Brown Derby, Boulevardier, or a Classic Stone Fence. Consider this your go-to gift option for holiday parties, dinners, and secret santa’s, sure to look great on any bar cart.

Elmer 2 in 1 Hooded Mitt Glove Navy – $115 CAD

Every year as we walk through another cold winter day, we have that argument with ourselves about whether it would be better to wear mitts or gloves. On the one hand (pun intended), with mitts, all your fingers are together, keeping the heat in, but with gloves, you can use your hands. Well, the internal debate is over,  thank you the Elmer 2 in 1 Hooded Mitt Glove. The combination of textures protects against wind, water, and cold, while still allowing movement and touch-screen use. Such a great gift.

This is a fire gift.
