From boujee steak boxes and charcuterie spreads to bold single malts and even a gut health starter pack (mum will thank you later) – these are the best food and drink gifts for Father’s Day.

Tullibardine 15-year-old
Tullibardine 15-year-old
For the dad who knows his whisky from his wallop, Tullibardine’s 15-year-old single malt is a class act. Born in 2003 after the distillery’s revival and aged in first-fill bourbon casks, this beauty boasts a nose of dried hay, parma violets, baked apple, cloves, and a whiff of vanilla ice-cream – like a summer’s picnic that’s grown up a bit. Expect notes of warm scones, strawberry jam, and clotted cream, all rounded off with a delicate spiciness and a gentle nutty finish. The perfect dram to pour dad while you pretend to listen to his golf stories.
Eto Wine Decanter
Eto Wine Decanter
There’s nothing worse than opening a good bottle of wine and not having the time to finish it before it passes its best. That’s where Eto steps in. Their sleek, space-efficient wine decanters keep liquid at its best for up to two weeks, eking out the lifespan of a good bottle so you – or dad – can drink every last drop. Space-conscious enough to fit into a fridge door while still being big enough to hold an entire bottle of wine, these decanters slowly oxidise wine to elevate it to its full potential. This Father’s Day, make sure Dad never misses out on a good bottle of wine again.

Tamdhu 21YO Sherry Cask Matured Single Malt Whisky
Tamdhu 21YO Sherry Cask Matured Single Malt Whisky
Dad might be a little past 21, but that doesn’t mean his drinks can’t be celebrating the big two-one. This latest – and oldest – release from Tamdhu distillery, who exclusively age in Oloroso sherry casks, is a rich and complex single malt. With hints of chocolate, stewed fruit and mandarin on the nose, the palate is textural and layered, sherry-forward at the first sip, before opening up into spiced fruit and hints of sweetness on the finish. Proof that good things come to those who wait.

Zwilling Air Fryer
Zwilling Air Fryer
For the dad who prefers sausage sandwiches to his own offspring, the Zwilling air fryer is the ideal present. It whips up perfect porkers in no time, minus the grease-spattered hob. From fries to fishcakes, bacon to barbecue ribs, it turns out crispy, golden morsels with barely a lick of oil, so even his cholesterol can sleep a bit easier. Deep-frying, roasting or baking? A doddle. Plus, the basket and grid pop straight into the dishwasher, so there’s no elbow grease required. And best of all? No vat of used fat to dispose of. Just hot air and hot snacks, the way nature (and Father’s Day) intended.

Hatsukokoro Hayabusa Gyuto Knife
This year, give your dad a Father’s Day gift with a sharper edge. The Hatsukokoro Hayabusa Gyuto Knife from Kitchen Provisions is handcrafted with precision in Sanjo, Japan.

This blade boasts VG10 steel, renowned for its exceptional hardness and superior edge, and features a mesmerising Damascus (Suminagashi) finish created through a meticulous layering and folding process of contrasting steels. It’s crowned with an octagonal ebony mono wood handle, a tactile and timeless touch that balances perfectly in the hand, providing comfort and precision during use.
