A botanical bouquet for Father’s Day? What a novel thought—and hey, maybe your Dad would like a big bunch of peonies on September 6. But we were thinking more of a botanical arrangement of the spirited kind. Like a Tailored Gin with lemon myrtle, river mint and coriander seed, poured over ice with a splash of mineral water and a sprig of rosemary. Or a Blend Your Own Whisky Class. Whatever his style, there’s a gift for every Dad in this Archie Rose Father’s Day Gift Guide.

BRANDED GLENCAIRN GLASS, $10

You’re on a tight budget, or maybe you want to add on a glass that’ll make his favourite whisky pop. Whatever it is, he’ll be happy with this tulip-shaped Glencairn glass, designed to hold up to 50ml of spirit—the ideal ratio of liquid to air if you ask those in the know.
