Whiskey For Mom

Many people consider whiskey more of a Father's Day kind of gift

, but if your mom appreciates fine food and drink she will probably also appreciate a fine single malt scotch. Don't think that the only acceptable gifts for mom are flowers and candy because you would be selling your mom short. My mother raised three kids and I don't think she would have been able to do it without alcohol. This Mother's Day choose the road less traveled and buy your mom scotch whiskey. Even if your mom has not expressed a particular interest in scotch whiskey, you can introduce her to something new.

Now to properly select a whiskey for mom you will need to do some investigatory work as to her tastes. You can pump friends and family for information in this department. If she likes whiskey ask them about her specific preferences. Try to get specific scotch whiskey brands so you can sketch out the kinds of notes and flavors she enjoys. If she doesn't drink whiskey, just ask about her general taste in alcohol. Does she gravitate towards the sweet or the smoky? Does she appreciate a richer, more filling drink or a lighter, more refreshing one? The more specific the better, but don't worry if you cannot get that much information.

Keep in mind that many single malt scotches and whiskeys have fruit notes. If your mom has a favorite fruit try to find a whiskey with notes of that fruit. The same is true for spices like vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Some scotch whiskeys contain prominent spice flavor notes so if a certain spice keeps coming up in mom's cooking or baking, you can probably find a whiskey that will suit her. To find whiskeys with specific notes and flavors just use an Internet search query.

If you can't seem to narrow in on mom's taste, don't fret. You can always order a few small bottles of whiskey and give those to her. Then she will tell you which were her favorites and why. That will arm you with the knowledge you need to get mom the ideal whiskey for the next gift giving occasion.

The best part of getting mom whiskey is getting to enjoy it with her. After all, there is nothing moms love more than spending time with their kids. So get two glasses, pour mom a drink, and take a trip down memory lane together.
