Gift Giving Guidance

You know that there are certain times when buying a gift set is the most appropriate decision. At Joe Canal's, our gift sets are priced aggressively, so your selection process might be slowed down by all of the great choices that we offer. We recently ran through a few suggestions on our Facebook pages, but we have some others that you might enjoy giving. Or receiving. Or buying for yourself. These are available in Lawrenceville and Woodbridge, while supplies last:
 St. Bernardus Gift Pack

St. Bernardus, not to be confused with St. Nicholas, is one of the great Belgian beers available in the US. The gift set includes a six-pack, and 2 chalices. If you're giving this as a gift, then they conveniently have a glass to share this brew with you.


Ardbeg Exploration

Ardbeg is one of Islay's premier single malts. It a rich, smoky dram that is perfect at this time of year. The Exploration gift set includes one 750ml bottle of their standard 10 year old whisky, along with sampler-sized bottles of their Correyvreckan and Uigeadail extensions. And at $47.99, this gift set is the same price as the 10 year old by itself.

Patron Anejo/XO Gift Set

One of the best after-dinner drinks we've had in a long time is the Patron XO Cafe. After first trying it at the Atlantic City Food & Wine Festival, we were hooked. A Patron tequila and coffee liqueur? What could be bad? This gift set packages a 375ml bottle of the Patron XO Cafe with a 375ml bottle of Patron Anejo tequila with sipping glasses. At $42.99, I might keep this for myself.
Innis & Gunn

Innis & Gunn comes to us from Scotland, making it a good fit with the Scotch Whisky's we have in this post. The gift set includes the Original, Rum Cask aged, and Bourbon Aged Stout, along with a branded glass. So maybe the recipient won't share, unless you're ready to drink it from the bottle.


Glenmorangie Discovery Gift Set

And then there's the Glenmorangie Discovery Gift Set. Because everyone has trouble with it, pronounce it "Glen More N Gee". This set includes a 750ml bottle of their original expression, along with 50ml bottles of Lasanta, Nectar d'Or, and Quinta Ruban. Those are samples of Glenmorangie finished for two yeards in Oloroso Sherry, Sauternes, and Port casks, respectively. And, like the Ardbeg gift set, this is priced the same as the Original is on its own, at $34.99 in the Bottle Club®.

Gift sets are a hot commodity, with very limited availability. To get the best possible choice, stop in to Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville or Woodbridge today!
