Rare and Special
Luxury whisky gifts for Dad
A top shelf man deserves a top shelf malt this Father's Day. If your Dad is the sort of man who loves showing off your achievements - he might even still have some of your childhood trophies or artwork on display - he'll love showing off a luxury whisky gift or rare whisky expression given to him by his pride and joy.
If you need some help picking a whisky with a touch of luxury and exclusivity, consider:
Johnnie Walker Blue Label - Since 1992, Johnnie Walker Blue has redefined luxury malts. With just 1 in 10,000 casks meeting the exceptional standards for the liquid, quality is guaranteed in every sip.
Limited-edition collections - Look for one-off releases and limited collections from his favourite brands or reputable distilleries, like the annual Special Releases, where distilleries rethink and reimagine their expressions for something remarkable.
Exclusive collaborations and notable releases - From exciting designs on the bottle to anniversary editions, some whisky releases have an extra splash of something special and unique.
