HONOURING DAD: A GUIDE TO WHISKIES FOR FATHER’S DAY
No matter which continent you’re living on, dads are universal super men and quite frankly, Father’s Day is all about covertly thanking the almighty for blessing you with a dad you can always rely upon to pull you out of your worst messes … albeit with a chilling gaze oftentimes, obviously!
What your mom would get you to accomplish in her 5 commands, your dad would get it out of you with just a stare.
Such is his talent for a being dad, indeed. A hamper of personalized liquor gifts for him won’t go amiss, we might add!
But dads pack more roles than just that of a seemingly strict parent. They are also your partners-in-crime, your plan-B, your mentors, coaches & also best friends. They stand by you in your heartbreaks and they also strut around proudly over your achievements … after paying for your celebratory bash of course!
Dads deserve the finest of spirits and what better than a fine Scotch as a Father’s Day gift!
Father’s Day approaches, so let us identify what type of a dad your dear father is and which Scotch will be the best whiskey to buy as a gift for his eternal surprise on coming 20 June.
