30 Cool Groomsmen Gifts Your Best Man and Mates Will Love

1. Grand Teton Private Stock Straight Corn Whiskey

Got whiskey aficionados on your hands? You can’t go wrong with the first release of Grand Teton’s new whiskey series, a limited-edition winner that has been carefully chosen, proofed with pure mountain water, and hand-bottled. Presented in an embossed gift box and in a hand-numbered bottle, the Idaho corn whiskey has been aged for six-and-a-half years in used American white oak Colter’s Run bourbon barrels. Needless to say, this nuanced whiskey with notes of oak, maple, clove, cinnamon, and butter is best served neat.
