Employee Holiday Gifts With Your Company's Name on the Bottle
21+ only. Please drink responsibly.

This year, skip the gift card. Give every employee a full-size bottle with your company's name on the label and the year on the front.
Handled makes custom-label spirits for companies. You choose the spirit and the message. We design the label, bottle already-aged spirit under it, and ship to your office or to each employee's home.
21+ only. Holiday spirit gifts go to employees 21 and older. Please drink responsibly.
Why a custom bottle for the holidays
Most holiday gifts are generic by design. A custom-label bottle is the opposite: it says who it's from.
- It's from your company, not a catalog. Your name and logo are on the label.
- It marks the year. "Holiday 2026" on the label turns a gift into a keepsake.
- It's the same gift for everyone. One bottle, one label, every person on the list. No picking favorites.
- It ships where your people are. Office, home, or both.
Built for company-wide programs
Holiday programs are where a single barrel makes the most sense. For bourbon, programs start at about one barrel, roughly 200 bottles. That covers a team of 150 with bottles to spare for leadership gifts, new hires in January or the client list.
Bigger company? Programs can scale across more than one barrel and split by team or region. Prefer rye, vodka, gin or tequila? Program size is confirmed on your quote.

Who it's for
Holiday programs for companies with 100 or more employees, run by People teams, office managers and founders who want one gift that works for everyone 21 and older. It fits fully remote companies, hybrid teams with a few hubs, and offices that hand gifts out at the year-end party. If you also send client gifts, one barrel can cover both lists.
Ideas by budget
We don't publish prices. Every holiday program is quoted on the spirit, label, count and ship mode. Here's how companies usually think about it per person:
- Essential. One custom-label 750ml bottle for every employee. The simplest company-wide gift.
- Elevated. A custom-label bottle, with anything else you want included noted on the quote.
- Leadership. The same label for everyone, quoted for the managers or long-tenured staff you name.
Put your per-person target in the quote notes and we'll build the program to it.
Label message ideas
Keep it short. The best holiday labels read like a toast, not a memo.
- "Holiday 2026 · From all of us at your company"
- "Your company Reserve · Bottled for our team, 2026"
- "Thank you for the year. Your company"
- "Your company Private Barrel · Holiday Edition"
Every label carries the required federal information too. Our team handles that layout. Read more in What Goes on a Liquor Label.
Office handout or direct to each employee
- Bulk to the office. One delivery. Hand them out at the party or the last all-hands of the year.
- Direct to each home. Upload your employee list. Each person gets a bottle at their own address, which is right for remote and hybrid teams.
Our licensed retailer partners ship to most US states; eligibility is confirmed at checkout. An adult 21+ must be present to receive each delivery.

Plan backward from your delivery date
Holiday programs fill up first. Lead times are the same as our creator drops. The guide to how custom liquor gets made walks through each stage. Use it to plan backward from the day you want bottles in hand.
| Stage | What you do | Plan for it |
|---|---|---|
| Quote | Send count, spirit, ship mode, date | Start here |
| Label design | Send logo and message; review proof | See guide |
| Label approval | Approve proof; we file for federal approval | See guide |
| Bottling | Nothing. We bottle already-aged spirit | See guide |
| Shipping | Send the final recipient list | See guide |
Barrel aging isn't part of your wait. We source spirit that's already aged.
