The Sunday Sale: Toast the Finer Things in Life with 50 Percent Off this Iconic Huckberry Decanter

Best decanters for your favorite whiskey.

If ever you’ve stumbled across this Brooklyn style blog, you very well might know that I appreciate the finer things in life — as you perhaps might yourself, be it the expert cut of a stylish trucker jacket, the design of a perfect pair of leather boots or the rich aroma and flavor of a fine dram of whiskey (like this new release from WhistlePig, which I covered here at Maxim).

And as part of my many freelance writing pursuits, I’ve had the chance to travel far and wide to take in each of those delights — and when I’m back at home in Brooklyn (Hi, Mary!), I relish the chance to do the same, particularly when I can find what I cherish at the one-stop shop that is Huckberry.

While it’s tough to find space for my burgeoning boot collection, a suitable pour of whiskey is always close at hand — and it’s made all the better today (and the day after that, and the day after that!) by one of the best whiskey decanters on the market.

It’s the sort of thing that’s made even better by the fact that Huckberry has managed to develop and design the perfect decanter for your favorite whiskey: Yes, that’s right… one of the best online retailers for menswear and gear has again knocked it out of the park with a stylish decanter for some of the best whiskey on the market, and it’s on sale today via Whiskey Peaks and Huckberry.

For a limited time, you can now score 50 percent off the Whiskey Peaks Denali Decanter, a hand-blown, lead-free glass decanter fashioned with an exact topographic replica of Mt. Denali at its base. It’s a true Huckberry prize at its best, celebrating the great outdoors while toasting the delight of a fine dram of whiskey — with a neat design and durable build to match.

And yes, my friends, as part of the ever-well-stocked Huckberry Sale section, the Whiskey Peaks Denali Decanter is marked down to just $25 — a rare sight cheaper than some of the best bourbon on the market, am I right?

Huckberry calls the Whiskey Peaks Denali Decanter a “handsome vessel,” one that boasts 54 ounces of capacity — in addition to its eye-catching overall build. For a brief time, find the Whiskey Peaks Denali Decanter on sale now at Huckberry, and add it to your bar cart ASAP while the savings last. Cheers to that, my friends.

The Friday Read: The Best Fall Whiskey, the Best Pants for Fall and the Aston Martin Residence

Michter's Whiskey

Some of your new favorite fall whiskey? Quite possibly.

I don’t know about you, but as we kick off today’s Friday Read, I’m feeling more in the spirit of fall already, just by looking at the excellent lineup of Michter’s Whiskey above. I’m particularly a fan of Michter’s US-1 Kentucky Straight Rye, an exceptional whiskey to enjoy in an Old Fashioned (if you prefer a Rye Old Fashioned). As I’ve mentioned in my newsletter (The Style Guide In Brief — be sure to subscribe!), you can use alcohol delivery service Drizly to get some sent right to your door — how’s that for a Friday night, ehh? It’s with that sort of spirt that I’ve been enjoying fall in Brooklyn, including a few (safe) stops at excellent whiskey and craft beer bar Sycamore, which features a backyard and patio set-up that’s perfect for enjoying a cocktail under the stars while it’s still nice out. It’s the kind of place that serves Michter’s Whiskey, too — a great spot, all in all.

For your own fall adventures, today’s Friday Read is jam-packed, per usual. Before I send you into the weekend, I’m going to also recommend you follow my Work From Home playlist on Spotify, featuring the kind of laidback indie rock jams to soundtrack a day and night at home — and a post-work happy hour with Michter’s Whiskey, naturally. Let’s get into the rest of it below — cheers to the season!

  • Folks, here’s another men’s style essential for fall that you’ll recognize if you read my gear-indie rock-craft beer newsletter: The American Giant Roughneck Pants, as worthy a pair of pants for your fall weekend as any. These are some of the most rugged men’s pants out there, featuring a durable stretch canvas fabric that retains its polish thanks to a slim fit and classic five-pocket pant styling. Wear them in place of jeans when you want to go ever-so-slightly rugged, yet versatile. Again, perfect pants for the weekend, ehh?
  • Dreaming of a James Bond-inspired getaway? Add a bit more to your budget in that case, because Aston Martin just unveiled seriously cool plans for its first-ever private residence, an incredible estate set in Rhinebeck, New York and featuring an underground lair and wine cellar (yes, believe it). Even better? I had the chance to write about it for Maxim, and I couldn’t be more thrilled.

An old-school pullover that’s as great as it gets.

Once again, it’s with the weekend in mind that I leave you with today’s final pick. For nights at home, plugged into your record player or listening to a Spotify playlist (like the one I mentioned above!), you can’t go wrong with some Master & Dynamic headphones, crafted in NYC. I reviewed them in this blog post, and needless to say, they’re some of the best Bluetooth headphones on the market. To let me know what you’re listening to at the moment, be sure to join me on Twitter. Thanks, as always, for reading!
