Whenever anyone asks me for a great men's subscription box, my first answer is always "Bespoke Post!" It's my husband's favorite, and we gifted it to quite a few people on our list this year.
(FYI - Bespoke Post is geared toward men, but most of the boxes are gender neutral, so I recommend this box).
If you're new to Bespoke Post, here's how it works: 1) SIgn up for $45 a month. You can pick an available box for your first month, or choose to skip for now. 2) Every month on the first they release their new boxes, and you can select which one you want, or skip any month. I love that you can preview boxes and skip any month you aren't interested in - it takes away the risk of the $45 price!
The Subscription Box: Bespoke Post

Each box comes with information on what's included and how to use it. This month we picked the Aged box which has everything you need to age liquor.
Aging Kit - Value?
(I'm not sure how to price this kit since it's a Bespoke Post exclusive). This kit takes the aging process down from months in a big barrel to only days just using this glass bottle and wooden barrel staves.
You put one stave in your bottle, fill it up with your liquor of choice, and let it sit in a dark place for 6-10 days.
Here's what the bottle looked like for us after 7 days. (I should have taken a before picture, but for reference the gin we used was clear when we started! (When you're ready to drink the gin, just use the cheese cloth to strain it).
I don't drink Gin, but my husband does, and he LOVED the results! He said it was much smoother to drink, and had an earthy taste.
Each stave can be reused 4-6 times, so I know he'll be making all his Gin aged from now on!
Sempli Cupa Rocks Glasses - Value $50
This box also came with a set of beautiful crystal drinking glasses.
From Sempli:
The contemporary glasses create a swirling rotation when set down, which assists the oxygenation of your fine spirit and promotes an aromatic experience for the drinker. Constructed to fit perfectly in your hand, the glass naturally works to warm your beverage.
These are now the nicest glasses in our bar!
Verdict: Like always, the quality of this Bespoke Post box was top-notch. I think Bespoke Post also has some of the most unique boxes - an aging kit is something we never would have thought to buy, but now it's going to be a regular addition to our bar!
What do you think of the Aged Bespoke Post box? Which box did you opt for in December?
