As a professional whiskey critic, I absolutely swear by Liquid Ministry.

Aubi & Ramsa Kentucky Crème Brûlée Boozy Ice Cream

There’s an Old Fashioned flavor that’s even more delicious than the genuine article, but this Kentucky Crème Brûlée, made with real Maker’s Mark bourbon, is our favorite of the bunch.

Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit Single Barrel Bourbon

Price: $60

Look, as a professional whiskey critic, I literally try hundreds of whiskeys each year. Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit is probably the best in the country, as it is not only a flavorful and classic example of Kentucky-style bourbon, but also each bottle is drawn from a single cask. That means every single one is slightly different, and allows your dad to taste a truly one-of-a-kind experience.

Even if your dad has a ton of bourbon, he’s all but guaranteed to have never tried the individual barrel bourbon in this bottle.

Kings County is New York City’s oldest distillery, and all that experience is brought to full bear with their Barrel Strength Bourbon. For their premier, undiluted offering, the brand uses some of their oldest barrels, which are aged between 4 and 7 years.

The real draw here is that it was recently awarded a Double Gold Medal at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition, making it one of the best non-Kentucky bourbons in the entire country.

An Entire New Riff Single Barrel

Price: Inquire Here

One of the priciest gift suggestions on our list, for only the most serious of whiskey enthusiasts: A full barrel of hand-selected New Riff bourbon. Why buy a bottle when you can gift your dad a whole barrel? New Riff is one of the many brands that offer private buyers the opportunity to select and purchase their very own single barrel of whiskey, be it rye or bourbon, and have it bottled on their behalf. It may not be available at your local liquor store, but it will definitely bring a smile to your good old dad’s face.

Isn’t that what the holiday is all about?
