If your father is loyal to a specific bottle or distillery, select a single barrel or a high-proof expression from that brand. Extra-aged bourbon or a special finish from the same bourbon style can work well as a dessert sipper or celebration bottle. If there is flexibility, learn the bourbon’s mash bill and look for expressions that use the same mash bill but are aged longer. For presentation, use simple wrapping that adds surprise, such as a sleeve that hides the bottle or craft-colored paper or tissue paper rolled around the bottle with a small card. Give the bottle in person and suggest a celebratory dram to share.
"“If dad is very brand specific, I would suggest a single barrel or a high-proof expression from the brand he likes,” Lowry says. “If there is an extra-aged expression or a special finish of the bourbon they like, I would also lean into that as a dessert sipper or a celebration bottle.”"
"“I might also suggest finding out about the mash bill of the bourbon dad drinks,” Lowry adds. “Many distilleries use the same mash bill for multiple expressions but age them longer.”"
"“A little sleeve that can hide the bottle until he pulls it out will be a great reveal,” he says. “I'm also a fan of simple craft-colored paper or tissue paper - roll the bottle up and attach a little Father's Day card.”"
"“The biggest tip? Give your father the bottle in person and suggest a celebratory dram to share.”"
