Whether it's for birthdays, holidays, or any random Tuesday, there's one type of gift that's always a crowd pleaser: booze. While choosing clothes can be a struggle and gift cards leave something to be desired in the "thought that counts" department, a high-quality bottle of someone's favorite drink is always a hit. But, of course, you don't want to go with just any old tipple. No, you want to choose something special, meaningful, something they might not splash out for themselves. With that in mind, we've rounded up some of the best bottles and alcohol-themed gifts (think: a subscription box just for spirits) that they'll be happy to toast you with.
