We built a bar. It serves as a source of great pride. It holds 32 bottles of wine. It houses our pint glasses and rocks glasses and red wine glasses and white wine glasses and shot glasses. Least we forget, the champagne flutes. There is also the vital component to any bar: our collection of spirits, especially bourbon. We particularly like bourbon.

A bottle of bourbon only gets us so far, though. If we really want to entertain, if we really want to impress, we need to be able make a fine cocktail. That requires an assortment of bitters, mixers, herbs and fruit. It also means barware. How do you differentiate between a gentleman and a plain, ordinary man? Many ways exist — too many to list here. But, look for barware. If he has the equipment to construct a fine cocktail, and knows how to use it, that points in the right direction.

When we brought home this Nuance 4-Piece Bar Accessory Set, a special woman in our life commented, “That’s a handsome set a barware.” She’s correct. It’s well styled. But, like us, it offers more than mere attractiveness. It’s functional and sturdy.

Need a handsome gift for a handsome man? Oh, excuse us. We needn’t exclude anyone. We’ll try again: need a handsome gift for the handsome human in your life? Let us suggest the Nuance 4-Piece Bar Accessory Set. It includes a pestle, strainer, zester and bar spoon. You’ll have to buy the bourbon separately. We like Blanton’s.
