For The Dad Who Loves Tradition
The Balvenie Double Wood 12 Year Old
Start a tradition with your father this year with this 12-year-old single malt which gains its distinctive character from being matured in two wood types. Over the period of maturation, it is transferred from a traditional oak whiskey cask to a first fill European oak sherry cask. Each stage lends different qualities to the resulting single malt: the traditional casks soften and add character, whilst the sherry wood brings depth and fullness of flavor. The taste is a smooth mellow single malt of beautifully combined flavors – nutty sweetness, cinnamon spiciness and a delicately proportioned layer of sherry all encompassed in a long and warming finish.
For the Dad Who Keeps all His Trophies
This single malt Scotch has been carefully matured in the finest American bourbon and Spanish sherry oak casks for at least 12 years, which is then mellowed in oak and marrying tuns for complete harmony in aroma and flavor. The result is alluring notes of fresh pear and subtle oak flavors with a long, smooth finish. Glenfiddich 12 Year Old is the perfect example of Glenfiddich’s unique Speyside style and is widely proclaimed as the best dram in the valley – perfect for the dad that always comes in at #1!
For the Dad Who Loves a Good Boilermaker
Tullamore D.E.W. Irish Whiskey
Tullamore D.E.W. is the original blend from this Irish Whiskey brand known around the world for its smooth and gentle flavor. This mild blended whiskey has spicy, lemony and malty notes with charred wood undertones giving a soft, buttery, rounded flavor that lingers in the mouth.
The Explorer
The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14-Year-Old
The whiskey is created by maturing The Balvenie first in second-fill traditional oak whiskey casks before transferring the whiskey to casks previously used to mature Caribbean rum. Whether at home or on the road, every time your father figure takes a sip, he’ll be transported by taste to the Caribbean. The taste is rounded with vanilla and sweet oak notes, with a fruity character that develops with time, all encompassed in a soft and lingering finish.
