Father’s Day Drinks Gifts for 2022

Lee Broom x Rémy Martin

For the first time since its creation in 1981, the Rémy Martin XO glass decanter has been redesigned, as a special partnership with top designer Lee Broom. He has paid tribute to the iconic original by injecting it with a distinctive edge – carving hundreds of fine ‘starburst’ cuts into the indents of its solar shape. Each cut symbolises one of the many eaux-de-vie within the Rémy Martin XO blend. Inspired by icicles, they not only amplify the radiance and opulence of the blend, but the fabulous array of aromas revealed with the addition of a single ice cube too. Definitely one for a Dad who takes a good-looking drinks cabinet seriously.

Westland American Oak

In the pursuit of an authentically American single malt whiskey, Westland Distillery bring their signature five-malt barley bill together with new American oak casks—two things practically unheard of in the old world. This combination produces a dramatically different whiskey from what is now commonplace and expected in the single malt category. But just as traditional styles of single malt from Scotland emerged as a reflection of regions such as Islay and Speyside, so too does the American Oak stay true to the provenance of its Pacific Northwest home. Put simply: it rocks.

Mount Gay XO

Mount Gay XO is the first XO in the rum category, and is a small-batch blend of carefully selected mature rums. It is distilled in traditional copper pot and column stills and matured between 5 to 17 years in American whiskey, bourbon and cognac casks. The result is vanilla, oaky and dry spice notes of clove, with sweet notes of salted caramel, baked fig and plum, dark chocolate. Smooth, smooth, smooth. Any father worth his salt will weep with joy at receiving this.
