For the dad who you can always count on to tell a great story — with a dram of The Glenlivet in hand. The Glenlivet was created at the beginning of the 19th century, during a period of heavy taxation and illegal distillation in Scotland. By 1950, The Glenlivet accounted for half of all the Scottish malt whisky sold in the US. The legacy of the single malt that started it all has continued ever since, so in every bottle of the Glenlivet, whatever the age, you can taste over 200 years of history.

Aberlour: For the Dad Who Loves Outdoor Adventures
Aberlour: For the Dad Who Loves Outdoor AdventuresThe dad who appreciates nature and enjoys the outdoors will appreciate a dram of Aberlour. Aberlour Single Malt Scotch whisky is named after the waters near where it’s made. Aberlour means ‘the mouth of the chattering burn’ in Gaelic, and they called it that because of the sounds the burn made as the water cascaded over waterfalls and splashed its way through wooded glens to meet the river Spey at Aberlour. It was meant literally, in that the Celtic druids believed that the stream really did talk. As worshippers of the mystical powers of nature, they believed that the spirits they heard in the burn spoke words of wisdom.
