Four great Father’s Day gifts for single malt fans

With Father’s Day on the horizon (20 June), why not make his day with a special gift from The Glasgow Distillery? Having been awarded ‘Scottish Whisky Distillery of the Year 2020’, it’s bound to have the ideal drop to whet his whistle

Best for… the personal touch

Personalised Glasgow 1770 Single Malt, £49

If your dad is partial to a wee dram, why not personalise a bottle with your own thoughtful message for a beautifully bespoke gift? Choose between two award-winning single malts: Glasgow 1770 The Original (fresh and fruity) or Glasgow 1770 Peated (rich and smoky). Then enter the text you’d like printed on the bottle label, limited to 30 characters. There’s a chance to personalise your gift further by adding a message to the gift box label, limited to 25 characters. Feel free to be as sentimental or as profane as you like, depending on your mood…

Best for… glassware snobs

Glasgow 1770 Single Malt Whisky Gift Pack, £59

A great whisky needs an iconic vessel in which to sail. If your old man is fed up of drinking his amber nectar out of IKEA glassware then the Glasgow 170 Single Malt whisky gift pack is the perfect option, offering your choice of single malt alongside two sleek, branded Glasgow 1770 whisky glasses. The tulip shape of each glass enhances its nosing function, while a tapered lip helps direct the liquid to the tip of the tongue for a greater appreciation of the whisky’s sweeter notes. Choose between two award-winning single malts: the fresh and fruity Glasgow 1770 The Original, or the rich and smoky Glasgow 1770 Peated. Then prepare to clink away in style. Slàinte.

Best for… curious drinkers

Glasgow 1770 Single Malt Miniature Selection Gift Set, £20

If your dad gets easily bored with the same flavours and is always on the hunt for something new then a premium whisky gift set could be the way forward. This swish one includes three award-winning single malts from The Glasgow Distillery, each with an entirely unique flavour profile. Presented in 5cl bottles, for just the right sized dram, your dad will get to enjoy The Original, Peated and Triple Distilled single malts from the distillery’s signature range. Not quite one for every day of the week, but it’s a good start.

Best for…. a bonding experience
