Father’s Day – The Perfect Whisky Gift Ideas For Your Father

Father’s Day simply isn’t a day that celebrates fatherhood and honours fathers all over the world, but a day to make your father feel just as special as you believe him to be. Now for a day of this magnitude, not just any gift would suffice.

For a day as special as Father’s Day, it is always a difficult task to pick out the perfect gift for the very first superhero of all our lives, but for the children of whisky loving fathers, the answer is far too simple.

A fortuitous pleasure of life, and dare we say, one of the greatest gifts ever is to have a father that loves whisky just as much as we do, and for the ultimate Father’s Day gift, it is a decision as simple as it is tough.

Sure we know a bottle of whisky is naturally the ideal choice, but which one? Shall it be the one for special occasions, or a worthy inclusion into his priceless collection? A bottle of whisky he loves to show off to his friends, or a bottle that reminds you of the first drink you ever shared with your father? Fear not because we are here to help you make the right choice this Father’s Day, so go ahead and take a pick from these gorgeous whiskies from around the world.

Aberlour 18 Year Old

If there is a single word that can be used to describe the Aberlour 18, it would be ‘Underrated’. A hidden treasure among the more widely known mainstream single malts, this delight has managed to retain its allure for many decades, producing a drink that a true whisky connoisseur covets.

The Aberlour 18 was only released widely in 2008, and it still hasn’t gained a wider popularity. What better than an undiscovered Speyside treasure to add to your father’s prized whisky collection this Father’s Day?

The Glenlivet 15-Year-Old

This richly flavoured expression from The Glenlivet is one of their bestselling single malts, and for good reason. Matured in French Limousin Oak barrels that are used to age cognacs, this single malt is enriched with a repertoire of exciting aromas and tasting notes.

Slightly pricy, this bottle from The Glenlivet is a creamy, and buttery delight that absorbs its unique flavours from the low density timber used to make the barrels. One of the world’s most revered makers of single malt whisky, The Glenlivet would not just make a fine addition, but would also make a worthy beginning to a new whisky collecting hobby.

Chivas Regal 18-Year-Old

A triumph from the legendary Colin Scott, Master Blender at the house of Chivas Brothers, the Chivas 18 is a masterpiece and one of the finest specimens of the craft of whisky-blending. A richly textured Scotch with a heart from the Strathisla, the Chivas Regal 18-Year-Old is packed with an explosion of as many as 85 flavour notes thanks to the higher malt content.

The recipient of a string of gold medals at international whisky tasting competitions, the Chivas 18 is the perfect gift for someone who deserves only the best this Father’s Day.

Jameson Irish Whiskey

The flagbearers of the movement of revival for Irish whiskeys worldwide, every bottle of Jameson represents how much love the Irish reserve for their whiskey. A blend of the finest pot still and grain whiskeys, the Jameson is triple distilled, bearing an impeccable smoothness that is unmatched by any other.

A beloved brand for many whiskey lovers around the world, Jameson has not found its deserved popularity among many whiskey drinkers who have unfortunately become bound by their loyalty to Scotch, Bourbon and Indian whiskies. Jameson Irish whiskey is the perfect way to introduce your father to one of the rare gems of the world of whiskey this Father’s Day.

Ballantine’s 17-Year-Old

Fruity, well-balanced, and what’s more, it’s a Ballantine’s blend! The 17-Year-Old is the true embodiment of the quintessential Ballantine’s blended experience and with an age-statement of 17 years, it is one of the smoothest Scotch whiskies available.

Amrut Peated Single Malt

The first Indian single malt, rightly named Amrut which translates to ‘nectar of the Gods’, this elegant spirit has earned accolades for itself and India on the international stage when submitted to blind taste tests.

A smooth, peaty and singularly fruity single malt, Amrut Peated is a splendid example of India’s capacity to produce an extraordinary single malt, capable of holding its own in the global arena among the whisky making heavyweights.
