2025 Military Edition NOW AVAILABLE
If your dad’s a whisky lover—and we don’t know many who aren’t—gift-giving is easy because you know what puts a smile on his face.
If you’re looking for unique whisky gift ideas that bring the wow factor, you’ve come to the right place. This year’s Father’s Day whisky gift guide offers new and creative ways to celebrate dad, with the added bonus of getting to share the experience with you.
This Father’s Day, why not combine what dad loves best: great whisky and time spent with you! Here are a few suggestions to get your planning started.
Imagine dad’s eyes lighting up when you surprise him with a top-shelf whisky-tasting experience at home.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Three distinct whiskies to taste and compare. We suggest:
It’s a smooth, medium-bodied Canadian whisky with spicy vanilla and custard on the nose and fall fruits on the palate with a hint of spice.
Our newest addition, celebrating a time-honored American whiskey tradition. Aged ten years in barrel and packaged in a display-worthy bottle, it’s a bourbon every dad will appreciate.
A unique Canadian whisky with a richly textured palate and exceptionally smooth finish. A portion of the blend is aged for 6 years in brandy barrels, expect leather, nutmeg, and a trace of ginger on the nose with baking spices, dried figs, and caramelized bananas on the palate, wrapping up with a nutty, full-bodied finish.
Here’s what else you’ll need:
The proper whisky-tasting glassware enhances the enjoyment of whisky. You’ll need one glass for each whisky you’re tasting.
Add some stylish whisky coasters to make the occasion more festive.
Print out tasting notes for you and dad to compare your impressions. It’s fun to see if you’re getting the same aromas and flavors, and an excellent way to train your nose! Tasting notes for the above whiskies are available on each product page.
To jot down impressions.
Before you taste, read our article on how to prepare your palate for a whisky tasting, and you’re all set! If you really want to impress dad, learn about toasting tips and whisky-drinking traditions in the West.
Nothing pairs with whisky like a perfectly grilled steak. Create a whisky-themed meal to celebrate his dad-ness and show your love. We’ve got a few expert tips on grilling with whisky, complete with recipes and cocktail recipes to enjoy while you’re cooking.
If dad is a whisky collector, why not gift him an extra-special bottle he will treasure for all those special moments—and hopefully share it with you to celebrate.
Pendleton® 1910 Rye, made from 100% rye and aged for a minimum of 12 years, is a luxury rye with rich aromas of nutmeg, clove, and dried pineapple and a palate redolent of apples and dried cherries with muted nutty undertones.
Our ultra-premium Pendleton® Whisky Directors’ Reserve is a rare indulgence and the perfect way to let dad know he’s one of a kind. This 20-year Canadian whisky is a special one. Its leather smithed neck cuff is made by third-generation saddle-maker Randy Severe, and every pour has you savoring toasted coconut, ripe pear, and warm baking spice. Definitely a bottle that deserves to take top billing in dad’s whisky collection.
Honor dad’s service or appreciation for those who serve with the Pendleton® Whisky Military Edition bottle. This limited-edition bottle, made with Pendleton® Whisky Original, features a custom patriotic design, making it a standout addition to any whisky collection. Inside, dad will enjoy the signature smoothness of Pendleton® Whisky, crafted for those who embody dedication, strength, and tradition. Whether he’s a veteran, on active duty, or simply proud to support the troops, this special bottle is a heartfelt way to raise a glass on this special day.
A bottle of whisky is always a welcome Father’s Day gift—but if you’re hoping to kick it up a notch or two, we’ve got some bundles that fit the bill.
Includes a bottle each of Pendleton® Whisky Midnight and Pendleton® Whisky Original, plus a set of 2 rocks glasses.
Invite dad to kick back and relax in style with a bottle of Pendleton® Whisky Original, 2 highball glasses with branded leather wrap, and a set of drink coasters.
