We’ll cover iconic names such as The Macallan, Dalmore and Jack Daniel's as well as rare and limited releases.

Father's Day Scotch Gifts

You can never go wrong with a traditional bottle of Scotch. It’s a guaranteed winner if your dad enjoys sipping a good whisky on special occasions or days ending in ‘y’. Here are some classic Father’s Day Scotch gifts.

The Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask

A name that will make your dad say, “Wow, you splurged this year.” The Macallan is one of the most respected distilleries in the world and a top pick for Father’s Day Whisky gifts. This 12-Year-Old Double Cask is a Speyside single malt that blends American and European oak sherry-seasoned casks.

• Price: £75.99

• Ageing: Aged in a combination of American and European oak sherry-seasoned casks.

• Flavour Profile: It has a beautiful orange citrus note typical of The Macallan, along with a light sweetness, vanilla and an underlying oakiness. The flavour evolves with a slight dark and a dry finish with light honey notes from the sherry cask.

The Dalmore 12 Year Old

Beautifully presented and incredibly smooth, The Dalmore 12 is a sophisticated and flavourful Scotch, which is why it’s a top choice for a Father’s Day whisky. The finish is long, the flavours are classic and the presentation is elegant.

• Price: £69.99

• Ageing: The Dalmore 12 is aged for the first nine years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks. Then, half of it is transferred to ex-Oloroso sherry casks for the final three years.

• Flavour Profile: This whisky is a well-balanced blend of sweetness and spice. The dried fruit and citrus notes shine early on, followed by a dry, spicy finish.

Father's Day Whisky

If you’re looking for something a little more memorable, a rare bottle makes a fantastic Father’s Day gift. Here’s a standout choice that will make your dad feel extra special.

Bimber Single Cask #406 Dad's Dram

From one of England’s rising stars in whisky, this limited edition release from Bimber was produced specifically for Father's Day. Only 185 bottles were produced, making it one of the rarest Father’s Day Whisky gifts out there.

• Price: £139.99

• Ageing: This expression was put down to mature in a single ex-bourbon cask for an undisclosed length of time.

The Best American Whiskey for Father’s Day

American whiskies, particularly bourbons, pair wonderfully with BBQ, meats and even desserts. That means he can enjoy it from starter to dessert. Our Father’s Day whisky picks include classic brands that are likely close to your dad’s heart.

Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Select Whiskey

Your dad and Jack probably go way back. Maybe even before you were born. For many of our fathers, their first introduction to whiskey was a Jack and Coke. That’s why the Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Select is a classic, sentimental choice. It’s a great way to take him back to his early whiskey-drinking days. This bottle stands out with its iconic design, a familiar shape that’s instantly recognisable. 

• Price: £44.99

• Flavour Profile: Up front, there’s a bold hit of caramel, banana, charred oak and maple sweetness. As your palate adjusts, the charred oak begins to take over, balanced by hints of black pepper and a buttery finish.

Jack Daniel's Whiskey 150th Anniversary

If your dad is a true Jack Daniel’s fan, Father’s Day is the perfect excuse to treat him to something truly special. The Jack Daniel's 150th Anniversary edition is a limited release, created to celebrate the distillery’s founding in 1866 and released in 2016.

This bottle features elegant gold detailing and a new design, making it the perfect Father’s Day whisky. It’s distilled using the same process as Old No. 7 but bottled at a higher strength.

• Price: £348.99

• Flavour Profile: Despite the higher ABV, it’s smooth on the palate. You’ll taste strong almond notes up front, followed by classic Jack Daniel’s flavours of banana, molasses and that signature sweetness.

Whisky Gifts for Dad

Go the extra mile this year and surprise your dad with more than just a bottle. A great Father’s Day gift is something your dad would never think to get for himself. If he’s a whisky connoisseur, pairing a quality bottle with a collectable accessory is a winning combination.

Maker's Mark Mint Julep Cup and Coaster

Treat your dad to something a little fancier with this Maker's Mark mint julep cup and matching coaster. It’s perfect for enjoying a classic whisky cocktail, and this unique gift set adds a touch of luxury to his barware. The coaster mirrors the iconic red wax seal of Maker’s Mark, making it a collectable piece your father will appreciate.

• Price: £29.99

Makers Mark Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey

Complete your Father’s Day whisky gift by pairing the julep cup with a bottle of the iconic Maker’s Mark Bourbon. Every bottle is sealed by hand. That red wax seal looks sharp on a shelf. If your dad appreciates good design (or just likes showing off his bar), this bottle doubles as décor.

• Price: £33.99

• Ageing: Matured in seasoned American oak barrels that are charred on the inside before being matured for three years.
