Ten Great Gift Ideas for Father's Day
The Loch Fyne The Living Cask Batch 16
For the whisky lover that's tried everything (cannae be as many as me though!), I have something a wee bit different. This dram is steeped in Scottish tradition: made according to the historic technique described in Professor George Saintsbury's 1920 book, Notes on a Cellar. The expression is made from cask that is constantly topped up with different whiskies and never emptied. This one began with our original living cask blend ,1745, and then topped up with a selection of carefully chosen Highland malts over the years.
Johnnie Walker Blue Label Glass Gift Set
If he's partial to a touch of smoke in his dram, this superb blended whisky from Johnnie Walker will delight. This limited edition gift pack includes two branded tumblers with the iconic Striding Man adorning each one. Today Johnnie Walker is as rich and smooth as it was when John Walker's son and grandson were Master Blenders in the 19th century. I wonder what he received on Father's Day as a famous teetotaller!
Nikka from the Barrel
Something a little different for your Scotch-lover Dad. Married to perfection, this one is a cracking wee taste of Japanese blending artistry. The dram combines whisky from the Miyagikyo and Yoichi distilleries, and a wide variety of casks are used in the maturation process, including bourbon barrels, sherry butts and refill hogsheads. After blending, Nikka reserves and marries them in used casks for between 3 and 6 months to allow the elements to stabilise and harmonise.
Loch Lomond The Open Special Edition 152nd Open 2024
One for the golfer Dads, this bonnie dram was made to celebrate the 152nd Open at Royal Troon, Scotland. This Highland expression has been matured in American Oak casks, including a period of finishing in the finest first-fill Chardonnay wine casks, which brings notes of orchard fruit, blossom honey and toasted oak.
Glen Scotia Double Cask Rum Cask Finish
If you can't pick between indulging his love for whisky or for rum, boy, do I have the dram for you! Records as far back as 1815 show casks of rum being sold in Campbeltown, shipped across the Atlantic Ocean. This latest Double Cask is an homage to that history, being finished in Guyanese Demerara rum casks for a minimum of eight months, imparting exotic flavours on the classic coastal dram from Glen Scotia.
The Loch Fyne Chocolate & Orange Liqueur
For Dad's with a sweet tooth, our signature whisky liqueur is a firm customer favourite as it's natural flavourings of chocolate, tangerine and orange, with a warming aroma of deluxe Scotch whisky. Created for whisky lovers seeking a sophisticated and complex alternative, it is a perfect gift.
Laphroaig Lore Gift Set
If all you know is that he is an Islay fan, you can't go far wrong with this Islay icon. It even comes with two glasses for you to share a dram with Dad. Packed with their signature peat and smoke combination, the expression also holds a rich and complex sweetness, in a new twist on a classic Laphroaig. A wee belter!
