This Father’s Day, independent, family-owned distiller William Grant & Sons has released a gift guide featuring a variety of flagship expressions from Glenfiddich, The Balvenie, and Monkey Shoulder to take the pain out of picking the perfect gift for a deserving dad. Whether he’s the strong and silent dad you know you can always lean on, an honorary father-figure in your life, or your best mate who just became a new dad, take the time to recognise and celebrate them this June with a meaningful gift that fits his taste and personality.
For the affable dad who always challenges you to be the best version of yourself, his approachable nature matches the Glenfiddich Our Original Twelve. Boasting sweet, subtle notes of pear and oak, it’s a quintessential example of the Speyside style.
For the bold, progressive dad who’s always looking to try something new, the Glenfiddich Our Solera Fifteen was created.
Using a technique pioneered by Malt Master, Brian Kinsman, this expression is finished in a Solera Vat inspired by the sherry bodegas of Spain and Portugal. The result is a whisky that is satisfyingly rich with lingering sweetness, tasting of sherry oak, marzipan and ginger.
Renowned for its luxurious and silky finish, the Glenfiddich Our Small Batch Eighteen is a truly exceptional single malt, one that will live up to dad’s expectations, perfect for the self-assured dad who holds his own in any situation. Rich and luxurious, with complex layers of dried fruit, candy peel and elegant oak, this delicately crafted, full-bodied dram is the perfect dram to delight dad with.
For the dad that appreciates simple handcrafted luxuries over fancy gifts, reward him with The Balvenie Doublewood 12 Year Old. Handcrafted by craftsmen who have dedicated their working lives to the trade, The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year Old gains its distinctive character from being matured in two different wood types.
For the well-travelled dad, take him on a journey with The Balvenie Carribean Cask 14 Year Old. This single malt whisky has been matured in traditional oak whisky casks for 14 years before being transferred to casks that previously held Caribbean rum, giving it a taste rounded with vanilla and sweet oak notes, with a fruity character that develops with time.
The Balvenie DoubleWood 17 Year Old is the perfect gift for the dad who deserves an extra special dram. The whisky adds a striking richness and complexity with its deeper vanilla notes, hints of green apple and creamy toffee.
If your dad dons his playful and cheeky personality like a crown, Monkey Shoulder is just the right companion for him.
Made from small batches of different Speyside single malts expertly blended then married together, Monkey Shoulder has a richness and vibrancy which combines flawlessly with fruity aromas and mellow vanilla notes.
Share a glass of any of the finest whisky from William Grant & Sons, and celebrate the best way possible with the father-figure in your life.
