Finding the perfect dram for dad just got easier this year thanks to Jura Single Malt Whisky, which has created two special edition bottles (complete with gift tag); each bringing the flavours in two classic Jura whiskies to life through beautifully illustrated gift wraps.
Gift buyers can discover the different sides of Jura’s Origin and Superstition expressions through the bottle design, which has striking visual tasting notes that help uncover the subtle hints of flavour to be found in each drop.
Jura Origin is aged in American White Oak ex-bourbon casks for 10 years, with notes of caramel, honey and soft liquorice. Whereas Jura Superstition is lightly peated and matured in American White Oak ex-bourbon casks, resulting in a different flavour to explore in each drop. With hints of smoke, honey and pine, Superstition is the perfect accompaniment to a Father’s Day BBQ.

Eteaket Whisky barrel distilled tea

Dads' that love a dram and a cuppa will enjoy the latest limited edition launch from eteaket, who have teamed up with Tomatin Distillery.

Their whisky barrel aged tea is created using a blend of three black teas from Assam, Ceylon and Fujian, each of which has a unique ability to absorb flavours and aromas over time. For this very reason, the tea leaves are ‘aged’ in Tomatin’s own whisky barrels, used to create their single malt, to pick up the complex smoky, fruity aromas that elevate the flavour, without overwhelming the tea leaves themselves.

eteaket’s limited edition Tomatin Whisky Tea comes in a distinctive turquoise tin and makes a perfect gift for the whisky and tea lover alike.

Biscuiteers Biscuit Box

Personalised iced messaged are also available.

You can order online before 1pm for next day delivery, so there's still time to buy the perfect biscuit for Father's Day.
