Blankets Worth Reaching For
These are not the kind of blankets that stay folded in a closet. Heavyweight sherpa throws keep you warm on the coldest nights. Soft fleece blankets drape perfectly over a couch or recliner. Woven tapestry designs double as wall hangings or bed covers. Every blanket in our collection is machine washable, built to last, and printed with designs that hold up wash after wash. Toss one over the back of your favorite chair, bring it to a football game, or throw it in the truck for a camping trip — these blankets go everywhere and get used constantly.

How to Choose a Whiskey Blanket
Size: A standard throw runs about 50" x 60" and covers one person on a couch. Oversized throws (60" x 80" and up) work for two people sharing or for draping over a full or queen bed.
Material: Sherpa is the warmest and plushest, polyester fleece is the most versatile and lightest, woven cotton tapestries lean decorative, and faux fur makes a statement accent piece.
Design: Choose phrase-based prints ("It's Rye Time," "I'm All Rye"), barrel and distillery artwork, or coastal and lifestyle motifs depending on the room and the personality of the person you're shopping for.
Care: Every blanket here is machine washable. Wash cold and dry on low heat to keep the print sharp and the fabric soft wash after wash.
A Gift They Will Actually Use
A whiskey blanket is one of those gifts that gets used the same day it is opened. It is cozy, it is personal, and it shows you know what they love. Whether you are shopping for a birthday, the holidays, or a housewarming, a quality throw blanket with a great design never misses. Pair one with a bottle or a set of glasses for a gift that covers the whole evening experience.
Whiskey Blanket FAQs
Are whiskey blankets machine washable?
Yes. Every whiskey blanket in this collection is machine washable. Wash on a cold cycle and tumble dry on low heat to protect the printed design and keep the fabric soft over time.
What size throw blanket should I get?
A standard throw of about 50" x 60" is ideal for one person on a couch or recliner. If you want to share or cover a bed, choose an oversized throw around 60" x 80" or larger.
What's the difference between sherpa and fleece?
Sherpa is a thick, ultra-plush fabric with a fluffy texture that holds the most warmth, making it best for cold nights. Fleece is lighter, softer, and more breathable, which makes it a better all-season everyday throw.
Do whiskey blankets make a good gift for whiskey lovers?
They do. A whiskey blanket is practical, personal, and used immediately, which makes it one of the safest gifts for a whiskey fan. Pair it with a bottle or a tasting glass for a complete present.
How do I keep the design from fading?
Wash inside out on a cold cycle, avoid bleach, and dry on low heat. Cold water and low heat are the two biggest factors in keeping a printed blanket looking new.
