The best beers, wines and spirits for Father’s Day gifting

When you want good fortune to smile on Father’s Day, sometimes the easiest way is to say it with a bottle.

Especially if he’s hard to buy for, doesn’t enjoy cooking, and his man cave is bang up-to-date with all the latest tech and tools – and the only thing missing is something to fill an empty space in the fridge, or bar cart.

Here’s what’s on our hot list to lend a helping hand…

For the hop head

This terrific trio showcases the Yorkshire brewery’s best brews, alongside an ace apple cider to wet his whistle.

Black Sheep Father’s Day Bottle Pack, £14.95, Black Sheep Brewery

For the man who appreciates a good ale

A win-win from Warwickshire… Purity’s case is right on point with three award-winning ales – Golden, Amber and Pale – plus the added bonus of a branded pint glass to call his own.

Purity Brewing Bottle Gift Set, Mixed Pack, £23, Purity Brewing Co

For the whisky nose

With its cult following and 16 years ageing in oloroso sherry casks, cue this single malt from the famous Isle of Islay. With signature peaty notes galore, this is a deliciously decadent dram.

Caol Ila 16 Year Old Father of Malt (Master of Malt) Whisky, £79.95, 70cl, Master of Malt

For the rum lover

Hands down the best looking bottle to have in his rum collection, the illustration depicts Manchester’s Salford Docks in its prime – and the monochrome map a talking point in itself. Better still, this golden nectar will make his dark and stormy soar.

Salford Rum Dark Spice, £33, 70cl, Salford Rum

For the Formula One fan

With the Canadian Grand Prix falling on the same day, make it a weekend to remember by bringing the best of Tennessee to the table – and raising a glass to Mr Jack!

For the diamond geezer

Not only is this German vodka packaged in a gem of a bottle, but according to the brand it’s four-times distilled, and treated to a ‘unique diamond filtration.’ The result? Smooth as a silk stocking with lingering pepper on the finish.

Three Sixty Vodka, Original, £19.95, 70cl, Master of Malt

For the dad who digs Kylie

The princess of pop is marking the fifth anniversary of Kylie Minogue Wines with the release of this new limited-edition Provençal rosé… dressed in a slender clear bottle and adorned with eye-catching pink flowers, it’s sure to be a huge hit.

For the adventurous wine lover

Top tier Chateau Musar reds are lauded for their complexity, balance and character. This younger drinking red from the award-winning Lebanese winery more than delivers with its swathes of spice-edged black fruits, and lick of liquorice.
