Five Luxury Gifts For Father’s Day

All dads are different and exceptional in unique ways, from the quiet, contemplative heroes to the fun, bad-pun-dropping legends who add dad-jokes to every occasion. Father’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate them over a bottle of something especially suited to their specific characters.

From whisky and vodka to champagne, pair the right drink to your dad’s standout trait, whether this be his integrity, flexibility, thirst for fun or indomitable passion for what he does. 

Here are a few brands that are perfect for raising a toast and celebrating the day with your father figure:

It is revered around the world as the peatiest, smokiest and most complex single malt. Much like your dad, with his loveable quirkiness, it has exceptional added depth stemming from an ABV of 46%.  Rather than being overwhelming, the peat gives way to the malt’s natural sweetness to produce an exceptionally balanced whisky.
