Woodford Reserve Kentucky Bourbon is the Ideal Last Minute Father’s Day Gift
Dads are notoriously hard to shop for, but we have the perfect solution.
Don’t get your dad yet another ‘World’s Best Dad’ mug or a set of personalised golf balls – the man doesn’t even play golf. Get him something he can savour, enjoy, and maybe even share with his fellow dad pals.
As long as there have been dads, there has been the eternal struggle for well-meaning, clueless children to decide what to buy. Allow me to let you in on a little secret: most dads appreciate a whiskey. Maybe he’s a connoisseur who loves to explore and try new labels, or perhaps he just lashes into the same old bog-standard stuff from the local supermarket. You should consider expanding his horizons and exceeding his expectations with a bottle of something he hasn’t tried before.
Enter Woodford Reserve. You see, here in Ireland, we are rightly proud of our whiskey – but in Kentucky, they certainly know what they’re doing too. That’s where Woodford Reserve is from – the land of fried chicken, bluegrass music, horse racing, and, of course, the world’s finest bourbon. It’s a piece of American tradition woven into the fabric of its history.
They have a full line-up to choose from at Woodford Reserve, with something for every budget and taste, but the Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a great place to start. It’s a unique offering as it uses an unusually high proportion of rye grain at 18%. It’s a stunning honey-amber colour, with over 200 delectable tasting notes. It’s aromatic on the nose with dried fruits, hints of mint and orange, vanilla, and tobacco spice.
To the taste, it offers a robust and complex mix of citrus, cinnamon, and cocoa. Toffee, caramel, chocolate, and spice notes abound. Then, on the finish, it’s smooth and warm with sweet aromatics and a kiss of floral notes.
Not only are the contents divine, but the bottle itself is a sleek and elegant vessel that will look stunning on his bar or in the drinks cabinet.
And you certainly don’t have to go all the way to the Bluegrass State to pick up a bottle. You can get it at your local SuperValu
If you’re not ready to commit to a full bottle, or if your dad is more of an experiences kind of guy, then you can pop into the gorgeous Lennan’s Yard on Dawson Street on the big day. They’ll be serving a carefully curated ‘Good Old Fashioned’ Father’s Day menu featuring three Old Fashioned serves ,made with Woodford Reserve, of course.
Whether you opt for a bottle or a cocktail or two, this is exactly the kind of gift that shows that special fella in your life that you care. It might be your dad, grandad, stepdad, or anyone in your life who’s been there for you – Woodford Reserve says: ‘You deserve something exceptional.’ Because let’s be honest, they absolutely do.
Please enjoy Woodford Reserve responsibly.
