Last minute Father’s Day gifts come in all shapes and sizes. A sub-par toiletries set from the supermarket, box of chocolates nabbed from the petrol station on the way to Sunday dinner, or even the likes of those questionable remote control holders, ubiquitous in recent years on men’s gifting aisles, that come emblazoned with a lacklustre assertion of greatness, “Best Dad” and the like…
However, those with a father-figure in their life who enjoy a tipple know that last-minute Father’s Day gift options and, in fact, Father’s Day gift options in general ascend to new echelons when a bottle of the good stuff becomes involved. It can, however, take a lifetime to be an erudite, well-versed whisky connoisseur, in the way many a dad seems to be. So we’ve cracked the code by whittling it down to two surefire, luxurious options that won’t assault the bank account, but will most certainly ensure the old man’s feeling adored this Sunday.
Merging the legacy synonymous with whisky, with a jolt in a new direction, is Angels Envy Whiskey. An opportunity for a new encounter for the lucky guy on the receiving end, the Bourbon Whiskey (with an “e”) was launched in 2011 and has noneother than a father-son duo at its core, crafted by Lincoln and Wes Henderson. The pair incorporate a unique finishing technique using Portuguese ruby port casks, creating a serpentine path of flavours, spanning ripe fruits to vanilla, with bitter chocolate also offered along the way. The striking bottle embossed with angel wings, in reference to its name, offers that extra cachet of luxury, and confirms that despite being relatively newer on the scene, there’s no shortage of esteem where this whiskey is involved.
The Gold Bar gift tin that Aberfeldy present their 12 Year Old Single Malt in is a sight to behold in itself, however, the contents of the bottle that lies within is where the true magic reveals itself. Ideal for sharing over a dram with the old man, the enduring traditionally in the methods of the heritage brand, for instance – drawing water from the Pitillie Burn and incorporating longer fermentation into the process – make it one of the most steadfast, classic options around. Notes of citrus and honey beckon, with tasting also promising spices and honeyed plump fruits, plus an abundance of vanilla and fudge, not forgetting a hint of smoke as the sensation culminates. Plus, for those more inclined for variety in life, Aberfeldy also offer a 3-part gift set featuring mini versions of the 12 Year Old, 16 Year Old and 21 Year Old offerings – spoilt for options we love to be!
