For the whisky lover

Craigellachie 13 Year Old Armagnac Cask Finish

If you're buying for a major Scotch fan, we've got just the bottle to switch things up. Craigellachie's latest expression, released earlier this year, is finished in - plot twist - Armagnac casks (it's a French brandy, kinda like Cognac but with a more independent vibe). The result is a soft, rich and sweet whisky - think notes of baked apples and cinnamon, yum - that will take a place of honour in your dad's collection.

For the glassware nerd

Savage Coupetini glasses

The Savage collab collection from glassware maker Nude and A Bar With Shapes For A Name founder and bartender Remy Savage is a firm BarChick favourite. All three silhouettes in the range (Pony, Coupetini and Coupe) are devastatingly sleek, but if you're choosing just one, make it the Coupetini for maximum versatility. Time for a Martini... 

€29,00 (£25) from Nude

For the one who wants to make a difference

Don Papa Rum Secrets of Sugarlandia canister

For the papa who's all about doing good for the planet, go for Don Papa. The rum brand's new Secrets of Sugarlandia canister aims to spread the word about conservation efforts on its island home of Negros Occidental, AKA Sugarlandia. The packaging's lush design showcases some of the plants and animals that live on the island, including the bleeding heart dove and the Visayan warty pig (sounds like us after a particularly wild night out), and a percentage of the sales of each canister go to supporting the work of conservation organisations on the island - just scan the QR code on the back of the packaging to learn more about the initiatives. The rum itself is a seven-year-old blend with big flavours of vanilla, honey and fruitcake, great for both sipping straight and mixing (may we suggest a Rum Old Fashioned?).

£32 from Sainsbury's

For the G&T drinker

Hapusa Gin

Expand your dad's juniper horizons with a new bottle of gin - we're currently loving Hapusa, which is produced in Goa, India. This stuff is made with foraged Himalayan juniper and other Indian botanicals including turmeric, coriander seeds, raw mango and almonds, putting a savoury twist on a classic juniper-forward flavour profile. It makes for a sophisticated G&T (pro tip: garnish with a slice of orange to make those flavours SING, baby). 

£38.95 from Master of Malt

For the sweet tooth

Diplomático Rum & Dark Sugars truffle set

To gift the ultimate treat, look no further than this beaut of a collab between rum producer Diplomático and UK-based, West African-inspired chocolate maker Dark Sugars. The two brands have teamed up to create a three flavours of truffles: a classic Diplomático Rum-infused kind; a blood orange and rum variety; and rum crème de sel truffles. Dreamy. Go all in and get your old man the full gift set, which includes a 70cl bottle of Diplomático and a bunch of truffles. Ask nicely and maybe he'll share...
