Put a ‘Lil Whiskey in It: Bourbon Grooming Products for National Bourbon Day

We can all agree that the fake national holiday situation has gotten out of control. Sibling Day! National Fresh Breath Day! Lumpy Rug Day! National Bourbon Day!

Okay, that last one we can wholeheartedly get behind. To celebrate this momentous occasion on June 14, you can, of course, sip your favorite bourbon, but this year you may also want to avail yourself of a bourbon-inspired, albeit alcohol-free grooming regimen. Cheers!

Patch NYC Pipe Eau de Cologne – $47

Smelling of an old-timey man cave (think worn leather armchairs, pool table, and a well-stocked bar cart), this hand-poured blend of bourbon, cognac, and tobacco is as rich as it sounds.

This cedar, bitter orange, black pepper and cinnamon scented balm, is a delicious alcohol-free rendition reminiscent of the namesake cocktail. It tastes oh so good when it hits your lips.

Noble Isle Whiskey & Water Hand Wash – $29

We’re just going to leave the brand’s own product description right here, because they said it best: “A liquid gold redolent of the finest oak-aged single malt with warm vanilla and cedarwood on the nose and skin-calming extract of Scottish malted barley.” Sounds good enough to drink (but you probably shouldn’t).
