Interesting tipples
One of the most obvious things you can buy, which is virtually guaranteed to bring a smile to your Dad’s face is a bottle.
We’re quite sure your Dad will have his own favourite, but on special occasions, it’s good to push the boundaries. For this year’s guide, we’ve chosen a couple of drinks you might not be aware of that are likely to pique his interest and excite his palate.
Darkness 8 Year Old Sherried Whisky
This Father’s Day, we’re suggesting you allow Dad to turn to the dark side! If you’re Dad is a fan of whisky, a sherried-whisky such as 8-year-old Darkness might be more exciting and memorable than his usual everyday favourite.
Darkness gets its unique taste from being matured in ex-bourbon barrels before being transferred for a further three months into Oloroso sherry octaves. What these are is specialist small casks, and this means a lot more flavour.
If you think of amaretti biscuits with candied orange wrapped in a warming toastiness, you’ll get an idea. Darkness also has a unique, pleasant aroma, and to the nose offers a waft of chocolate peanuts, cooking spice and candied orange peel.
If your Dad is a fan of whisky, a bottle of Darkness should make this year’s celebration a memorable one. Darkness is available from masterofmalt.com and amazon and is currently on offer at £39.95 a bottle.
