YES, we are getting ready for Father’s Day. Cocktails and the makings for cocktails are absolutely essential for Father’s Day. Who wouldn’t want to have a bottle of new spirits OR a box full of the mixes and fixings for all kinds of cocktails. You get to pick out what Dad will drink on Father’s Day by gifting him at least the bottle of the spirits if not the entire recipe worth of ingredients. What’s not to love about that? I don’t know many men who would turn that down (unless you offered them a case of crafted beer– but they wouldn’t turn down either the spirits or the beer)
HAIG CLUB Scotch
What’s truly unique about this new single grain whisky is that it was developed in partnership with David Beckham and Simon Fuller. The signature Haig Club cocktail recipe is perfect to share with Dad on Father’s Day!

Haig Club™ (MSRP $50) is designed to be different — from the unique way in which it has been crafted to its distinctive square bottle.
Haig Club™ is made at Cameronbridge distillery in Scotland. The liquid has been crafted using a unique process that combines grain whisky from three cask types. Haig Club offers a completely new flavor profile for whisky fans, delivering a fresh, clean style showcasing butterscotch-smooth tropical fruit and unexpected, spicy backing harmonies. Seen by many to be Scotland’s hidden gem, single grain whisky is being predicted by experts as the next trend in whisky.
