Father's Day in Scotland and across the world. The annual holiday is dedicated to celebrating fathers and fatherhood. To help celebrate, Master of Malt has launched a

"thoughtful" limited-edition whisky created exclusively for Father's Day. The product carries a Father’s Day label, intended to be given as a gift for the holiday. The

release, named Father of Malt, is described as "a rich and peaty" 16-year-old single malt. It comes from the Caol Ila distillery on the isle of Islay, which is often referred to as

Scotland's 'whisky island'. READ MORE: STUNNING BOTHY IN SCOTLAND OFFERS BEAUTIFUL SEA VIEWS AND IS FREE TO STAY IN JUNE READ MORE: SCOTLAND'S TOP SIX WATERSIDE DINING

SPOTS TO EAT IN THE VIEWS THIS SUMMER The Father of Malt was distilled in December 2008, before spending 16 years maturing in an oloroso sherry wood. Priced at £79.95, only 491 bottles of

the whisky are available from Master of Malt. On the nose, the Father of Malt features notes of salted peanuts, baked apple, vanilla, toffee, shortbread, porridge, and smoked tea. Meanwhile,

tasting notes include peat smoke, dried red fruits, peppercorn, hibiscus, cracked pepper, and Kola Cubes. Master of Malt states: "Our very own 2025 Father's Day Reserve, and

it's a belter of a single malt from Caol Ila. Distilled in December 2008, the whisky spent 16 years maturing in an oloroso sherry hogshead before we earmarked it for this special Father

of Malt edition, cracking open the cask to release a total of 491 bottles. "That's 491 very happy Dads. If it gets to them before everyone else, that is. "It's one

supremely gluggable dram." Meanwhile, Master of Malt has released a Father’s Day Bourbon. Also carrying a Father’s Day label, it has been described a "soft five-year-old high-wheat

blend". The Father’s Day Bourbon is a small-batch release, and is priced at £39.95. It is a custom blend from a number of top American distillers, with no component being less than

five years old. Among the nose notes of the bourbon are maple syrup, pancakes, butter popcorn, and chewy toffee. Meanwhile, caramel, vanilla, and chocolate are some of the tasting notes.

Both of the whiskies were developed by Sam Simmons from Master of Malt. Simmons, who is known as 'Dr Whisky' according to Master of Malt, has previously served as a global brand

ambassador for "some of the industry’s biggest names". Meanwhile, the Daily Record recently shared a roundup of some of the best whiskies to buy for Father's Day. Among the

malts included were the Dad's Dram Blended Malt and the Glenmorangie X, which can be purchased from The Whisky Exchange and The Whisky Shop for £39.95 and £35 respectively. Master of

Malt is among the UK’s leading online spirits retailers, featuring a curated selection of whiskies, craft spirits, and exclusive bottlings. The company aims to make spirits accessible for

both seasoned connoisseurs and newcomers. Article continues below More information about the Father of Malt and the Father’s Day Bourbon can be found on the Master of Malt website.
