Other Great Whiskey Gift Ideas for Dads
New Whiskey Glasses: The more whiskey glasses the merrier. Grab your dad a new set of whiskey glasses, like the BLACKENED Whiskey Glass set, to make sure he has plenty of glasses for friends and family.
Glencairn Lids: If your dad often hosts whiskey tastings, consider getting him a Glencairn lid. Typically made of glass or bamboo, these lids help prevent off-gassing, preserving the vapors and aromas of pre-poured whiskey while it waits to be tasted or during transport to another location.
Glencairn Carrying Case or Tote: No matter where your dad wants to take his precious Glencairns, a carrying case or tote can ensure those glasses make it safely from point A to point B and back every time.
Rare Bottle(s): If pop has been eyeing a rare bottle for his whiskey collection, figure out how to get a hold of it for a Father’s Day gift he won’t soon forget.
Personalized Coasters: Take your dad’s coaster game up a notch by getting him a personalized coaster set. Add a monogram, his favorite team logo, or something to commemorate your bond or a special moment.
Personalized Decanter: Does dad already have cool coasters? Surprise him with a personalized decanter that reflects his personality, adds a touch of class to his whiskey collection, and enhances his whiskey experience by aerating the whiskey to bring out its full flavor and aroma.
Whiskey Wedge: Take your dad’s whiskey enjoyment to the next level with a whiskey wedge. This clever accessory redefines whiskey on the rocks by creating a perfectly chilled drink without watering it down. Its innovative design freezes the ice in a wedge shape, ensuring every sip of his whiskey remains perfectly balanced.
Keychain Breathalyzer: Dads want to have fun too, and a keychain breathalyzer is a great way to make sure they can easily check if they’ve had a little too much fun before getting behind the wheel, so they can figure out safer transportation.
