Ten great gift ideas for Father’s Day
Mr. Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur
I’m a sucker for coffee-flavoured drinks and Mr. Black Liqueur has remained a favourite since I first tried it. Made with a base of Australian grain spirit and coffee beans from Papua New Guinea, Ethiopia and Brazil, it’s cold infused, cold pressed and unfiltered, resulting in an intense flavour profile that’s delicious sipped neat and shines in cocktails.
The Lost Explorer Espadín Mezcal
Stir up some Mezcal Margaritas for Father’s Day with this joven mezcal from The Lost Explorer. Produced from the well-loved Espadín agave, grown to full maturity and harvested at eight years old, this expression boasts oodles of ripe fruit among the smokier notes at its core.
Delord 25 Year Old Bas-Armagnac
Armagnac is a spirit that handles long ageing extremely well, and you can get generously aged expressions for an approachable price, making it ideal for gifting. With its wooden box and wax seal, this 25-year-old Bas Armagnac from Delord would make a very smart Father’s Day gift.
Mount Gay Discovery Gift Set 3 x 20cl Rum
A present always feels bigger when it comes in multiple parts, and it will be especially memorable when those parts consist of three different 200ml bottles of rum from Mount Gay in Barbados – the perfect gift for a rum-loving dad.
Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin
Fascinating stuff from Australia’s Four Pillars, blending its classic dry gin with Yarra Valley shiraz grapes! The grapes are steeped in gin for eight weeks, then pressed before its blended with more gin for a medley of piney juniper and vinous red fruit.
Michter’s US*1 Bourbon Whiskey
Utterly delicious, whether you’re sipping it neat or stirring up an Old Fashioned, Michter’s hails from Louisville, Kentucky where it’s made in small batches, typically of no more than two dozen barrels at a time. Top quality stuff, brimming with caramel, vanilla and fruit notes, alongside a pleasing earthy quality at its core.
Bourbon Tasting Set
Tasting sets are another brilliant option when it comes to treating a spirit lover. This one contains five different 30ml samples of bourbon from a range of producers across the U.S., and comes in a nice shiny package, which saves the worry of wrapping!
Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie – Scottish Barley Whisky
Made with 100% unpeated Scottish barley, bottled at a hearty 50% ABV, The Classic Laddie single malt showcases Bruichladdich’s signature fruity, floral house style. It’s a moreish, versatile and delicious sipper – crack open a bottle and have a good old catch-up.
Kavalan Triple Sherry Cask
Here’s the chance to add a new prized bottle to your dad’s whisky cabinet, it’s the sort you pull out when you want to impress a knowledgeable guest. Hailing from Taiwan’s legendary Kavalan distillery, this single malt was drawn from a selection of oloroso, Pedro Ximénez, and Moscatel casks for a richly fruity, sweetly spiced, nutty profile.
Teeling Pineapple Rum Cask
A tropical treat from Ireland’s Teeling distillery, this edition of its Small Batch blended Irish whiskey was treated to a generous 12-month finish in casks that previously held the mouthwatering Plantation Pineapple Stiggins’ Fancy pineapple rum. Incredibly tasty neat, and top stuff in a Highball.
