Now there are many options for gift wrapping, whiskey with glasses, for example, looks very presentable. The main thing is not to miss the content. A beautiful box is only half the battle, you also need to choose a quality, really tasty drink. If it was not possible to find out which particular whiskey a man prefers, then it is better to take a drink with a famous name. Leading manufacturers of strong alcohol value reputation and carefully protect their goods from fakes.
It is also worth paying attention to the packaging. Colorful “funny” boxes are inappropriate in this case. Packaging must be kept in strict and concise colors. After all, this is a gift for an adult man, not a young lady.
A gift bottle of whiskey can be presented to a woman, but in this case you need to be one hundred percent sure that the lady drinks strong alcohol. It is worth noting that more often women prefer bourbon (American whiskey), since in its production cereal grains do not pass malting with peat. This drink is softer than Scottish and does not have a specific aroma. It is better for a lady to present whiskey in a gift box complete with high-quality coffee and dark chocolate. It is with such products that this type of alcohol is combined.
