H. Deringer Bourbon Whiskey Pistols Gift Set
H. Deringer Bourbon Whiskey Pistols Gift Set is a two-bottle gift set of 92-proof (46% ABV, per retailer majority — one retailer lists 80 proof, so a bottle read settles it) bourbon in glass pistol-shaped decanters replicating the famous Philadelphia Deringer — the pocket pistol of the 19th century. The set includes two 200mL decanters plus two Glencairn-style tasting glasses in a display case, ready for gifting. The bourbon is Indiana-distilled (MGP-sourced, per the most-detailed retailer sources), aged a minimum of two years in new charred American white oak from a corn-rye-barley mash bill. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

A Duel You Can Drink
The Philadelphia Deringer was the iconic pocket pistol of the American 19th century — and these two glass replicas capture its silhouette faithfully. But the set is more than a novelty: inside each pistol is an Indiana-distilled straight-style bourbon, rested in new charred oak, and the included Glencairn glasses mean the set is ready to pour the moment it's unwrapped.

Tasting Notes
A young but classic bourbon profile: corn sweetness and caramel up front, with rye spice and light oak on the mid-palate — an easy-drinking pour that punches above its novelty packaging.
How to Enjoy
Pour from the pistols into the included Glencairn glasses and sip neat — or save the set unopened as a display piece for a whiskey lover's bar.
