Which liquors are great for gifting?
The season of joy and gifting is here at last! Although you may not have big parties like in the years before the pandemic, you could still have small little gatherings or catch ups with friends and families; for these occasions you may want to prepare a gift for the person that you really cherish, and 3mk is here to guide you through which liquors are best suited for gifting!
When choosing a gift, here are some factors you may consider:
- Will the person receiving it enjoy it?
- Will it exceed my budget
What type of liquor suits your recipient?
This is a tricky one, as with every other food and beverage items, everyone has their own unique sets of likes and dislikes. One way you can nullify the risk of gifting something the other person might not enjoy is simply by asking what their go to liquors are and then getting them something similar! If you want the gift to be a little more of a surprise, you can just subtly ask which type of liquor they prefer (whisky, gin, rum etc) and follow our recommendations!
Here are our recommendations for the different types of liquors:

Gin: Instead of gifting gins that can be found in any other bars, try Nordes gin! Its from Spain and made from Albariño-grape-based spirit, rather than your more commonly seen grain-based spirit, along with 11 botanicals, including 6 local ones from Galicia such as eucalyptus, lemon verbena and samphire, which gives the gin a complex maritime quality. This gin is helmed by the scent of lemongrass and lavender which is followed by the refreshing taste of mint leaves and black tea and finished by just a hint of familiarity in the form of juniper.
