Glengoyne 12YO (43% ABV) is distilled at a sustainable Highland distillery near Loch Lomond which is known for its ‘unhurried’ approach as one of the slowest distilled whiskies in Scotland. This appealing, fruity character is unlike any other and sure to appeal to any love of fine whisky. Price: £47.50.
Glengoyne White Oak (48%) is a coveted expression amongst whisky aficionados and surprisingly affordable. Launched last year, this was a first for Glengoyne: the whisky is matured exclusively in First Fill Bourbon and Virgin White Oak Casks sourced from North America. These casks are charred for less than a minute allowing the Glengoyne spirit to shine. Glengoyne White Oak sings of vibrant wood and bright citrus, unripe banana and a hint of violets. The palate is soft and playful with touches of creme brulee, fruit gums and pineapple. The finish is long and smooth. Price: £49.99.

Smokehead: If the dad in your life is a little unconventional in his tastes, in whisky and perhaps everything else, put Smokehead Whisky on the list. New for this season is Smokehead 15YO (43% ABV) which has a complex smoky character that is rounded by earthy floral notes, smooth vanilla and zesty lemon with a long, peaty finish. Bold but never brash, this whisky brand, whose bottles feature a skull motif, is different from others in every sense. Price £69.99.
The Glengoyne Time Capsule gift set features 3 x 20cl distinct drams of Glengoyne Highland Single Malt – 12-Year-Old, the new White Oak, and the 15-Year-Old. For every minute other whiskies spend in their stills, this brand spends three. Only then is it transferred to casks, themselves prepared for six years. Like capsules in time, Glengoyne whiskies capture moments to be enjoyed and remembered, reminding us that, like savouring fine whisky, time is a gift. Price £71.50.

Rosebank Whisky is the height of luxury. This non-peated, triple distilled, Lowland Single Malt is considered one of the finest Lowland malt whiskies due to the fruity floral style produced through triple distillation. For a very special occasion, treat him to Rosebank 32-Year-Old – Legacy Release Three (47.6% ABV). The third and final edition in Rosebank’s first global series of legacy releases is a crescendo in this world-renowned distillery’s rich, fruity, and floral house style composed from a carefully selected range of casks from the small quantity that exist before the distillery’s temporary closure in 1993 before it rose, Phoenix-like, some time later. If your father is a whisky collector, this will be a rare treat. Price £2,100.
