Tullamore D.E.W. is the second largest Irish whiskey brand in the world. This one is triple distilled but is also a unique blend of all three types of Irish whiskeys: pot still, malt and grain. As a result, the liquid is three times smoother with an added gentle complexity.

For the Whiskey aficionado Dad: The Balvenie Doublewood 12
The craft and innovation that goes into each bottle of The Balvenie makes it incredibly unique. The best way to enjoy the depth of flavors is by drinking straight. You can taste its smooth mellow single malt of beautifully combined flavors – nutty sweetness, cinnamon spiciness, and a delicately proportioned layer of sherry.
