Athrú Father's Day Whiskey Lover Gift Guide
This Father’s Day, no matter where you are or how you celebrate it, it’s time to honour those paternal bonds and the influence of fathers in society.
Whichever way you choose to say thank you, there is really no better way of showing you care than by spending time with him. Even better if it’s over a dram of Athrú whiskey.
Read on to discover the perfect gifts we’ve selected for whiskey lover dads.
ATHRÚ SMALL BATCH RELEASE #1
What do you get the person who has everything? Something they don't already have, perhaps… like a limited edition whiskey!
Limited to just 3,000 bottles, our award-winning small batch release #1 highlights a blend of 3 unique casks of 6yo Oloroso, 6yo Bourbon and 17yo Madeira finishes. This perfect blend of malt Irish whiskey gives us a combination of dried fruits and spiced vanilla with a subtle toffee finish.
Our Small Batch Release was awarded a silver medal at the prestigious London Spirits Competition last April. Grab your bottle here.
2. 17-YEAR-OLD OLOROSO SINGLE CASK RELEASE
Our most recent release, the 17-year old Oloroso finish Single Cask, is an exceptional example of what can be done when using great casks and makes a perfect gift for any whiskey connosseur.
Aged for 14 years in American bourbon casks and finished for three in the finest Oloroso sherry cask, waves of dried fruit and warming spices mingle with rich noble wood, creating a superb high aged malt. The cask yielded just 310 bottles at 54.7%. Athrú’s 17 yo Oloroso single cask release is available exclusively online here.
3. ATHRÚ MINI TRILOGY GIFT SET
For the whiskey-curious dad, treat him to our gift box set of the three 14 year Athrú single malt whiskies. This set contains three individual 50ml bottles of the first trilogy of 14 year single malts, each finished in different hand-selected casks: the Annacoona (Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry), Knocknarea (Oloroso sherry) and the Keshcorran (Tokaji sweet wine casks). Costing just €35/£30.14, this set will certainly be a winner come Father’s Day.

4. KESHCORRAN
This distinctive whiskey is the third expression of Athrú 14 year old single malt. It was matured for 10 years in ex bourbon American oak and then finished for 4 years in rare Tokaji sweet wine casks. These casks were sourced from a Hungarian vineyard originally planted in the 1720s for Catherine the Great. This was the same time Hazelwood House was built at Lough Gill, Co. Sligo.
