8 premium whiskies for Father’s Day
A Secret Speyside 15 Year Old – Father’s Day Edition (Master of Malt) 70cl Whisky
Blended by a dad, for dads, this Speyside whisky was drawn from Pedro Ximénez, moscatel, palo cortado, and oloroso sherry casks. It’s seriosuly good, layering rich dried fruit, buttery pastry, soft leather, and warming spice with remarkable ease.
Bushmills 22 Year Old (That Boutique-y Whisky Company) 70cl
A 22-year-old Bushmills is already a rare treat, but this Boutique-y bottling takes things a step further with a finish in a Maury wine cask from southern France. The result is a beautifully rounded Irish single malt packed with creamy milk chocolate, raisin fudge, baked orchard fruits, and gentle spice. And look at that label. Shiny shiny.
Old Pulteney 18 Year Old 70cl Whisky
Old Pulteney 18 is matured in a combination of bourbon and Spanish oak casks to create notes of honeyed fruit, dark chocolate, warming spice, and maritime minerality. Buy now and this coastal Highland single malt comes with two free glasses. Father’s Day dram sorted.
Paul John Mithuna 70cl Whisky
Paul John Mithuna showcases just how exciting Indian whisky can be. Matured in first-fill American oak and finished in first-fill bourbon casks, it arrives at a robust 58% ABV packed with tropical fruit, vanilla pod, honey, toasted coconut, and warming spice. This is the bottle for dads who enjoy discovering something beyond the usual Scotch suspects.
GlenAllachie 18 Year Old 70cl Whisky
Billy Walker’s reputation for cask selection borders on legendary, and GlenAllachie 18 Year Old is one of his finest calling cards. Matured from carefully selected stocks across the distillery’s warehouses, some dating back decades, this Speyside single malt delivers decadent layers of dark toffee, mocha, honeyed fruit, baking spices, and rich malt. If the dad in question loves sherried whisky, this is a very difficult bottle to beat.
Midleton Very Rare 2026 70cl Whisky
Every year, Midleton Very Rare serves as a snapshot of Ireland’s most prestigious whiskey house at its absolute best. For the 2026 edition, master distiller Kevin O’Gorman combined five distinct distillate styles to create a whiskey of exceptional elegance. Expect silky orchard fruits, vanilla cream, toasted oak, gentle spice, and remarkable depth throughout.
Balblair 25 Year Old
A fantastically full-bodied Highlander from Balblair, one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries. This particular whisky was aged for a quarter of a century. First in American oak bourbon casks and then in Spanish oak butts to create an indulgent, elegant profile that’s full of orchard fruit, citrus, and runny honey.
Tomatin 30 Year Old
Marvellous whisky from the Tomatin distillery that has packed three decades of flavour into one mighty single malt. Gift them this whisky for Father’s Day and you will be the favourite child forever, basically.
