Father’s Day is Sunday, June 16th, 2019, and fathers everywhere (is it fair to say especially in NYC?) deserve to have a great weekend — and an edible, or at least Instagram-worthy, breakfast in bed. Depending on the success of that breakfast in bed, you might also want/need to grab brunch before.

Below, all our suggestions for home-run dad gifts, including things that may not be dad-specific but would be highly appreciated, from fun ideas to the world’s best knives set. We’ll continue to update this page as we get closer to June 16th.

For Some R&R With Dad

Passengers will fly towards the Statue of Liberty at 45 miles per hour with lots of twists, turns and splashes along the way. For a more relaxing Father’s Day, history buffs can experience the most iconic sights of NYC from the Hudson River narrated by informative, entertaining guides with Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises’ Landmarks Cruise or New York Water Taxi’s Statue of Liberty Express.

Share A Drink With Him

Dom Pérignon Vintage 2002 P2

Dom Pérignon is unveiling a very special vintage, Dom Pérignon P2, also known as “second plenitude” — launching just in time for Father’s Day. This exclusive vintage celebrates the way in which Dom Pérignon vintages evolve — not in a steady, linear way, but rather in through successive windows of expression throughout the maturation of the wine, making it a very fitting gift for father’s this year.

While each initial release of Dom Pérignon celebrates the harmony that the Chef de Caves finds and curates from a vintage, P2 is the wine at the peak of its energy. With outstanding maturity, reminiscent of that seen in 1982 and 1990, the complexity of the vintage is warm with striking flavors of sweet spices, fresh coriander, saffron and crystallized fruits that evolve into a darker, deeper bouquet that is more reserved and serene.

BACARDÍ Gran Reserva Diez

For the spirits connoisseur and budding at-home bartender Dad, we recommend BACARDÍ Gran Reserva Diez.

A master blender’s reserve, BACARDÍ Gran Reserva Diez is barrel-aged for a minimum of ten years. Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, this libation has a dark golden hue that boasts bright notes of banana, pear and tropical melon, that is balanced with caramelized vanilla and oak, resulting in a premium rum with complex flavors your Dad is sure to enjoy.

BACARDÍ Gran Reserva Diez (MSRP: $39.99) is available at Drizly.com.

FACUNDO EXIMO

For the fancy Dad, gift FACUNDO EXIMO from the FACUNDO Rum Collection — an ultra-premium sipping rum to show your Dad just how special he is to you this Father’s Day.

A masterfully crafted rum, FACUNDO EXIMO is a blend of medium to heavy-bodied dark rums aged between 10 and 12 years in fine oak barrels. The perfect libation for the gentlemanly Dad to enjoy as a nightcap, FACUNDO EXIMO is the only marque of the Collection to be blended before aging. FACUNDO EXIMO the perfect top shelf addition to Dad’s home bar.

FACUNDO EXIMO is one of four expressions in the ultra-premium FACUNDO Rum Collection — the first luxury collection of the most exquisite, extraordinary hand-blended sipping rums sourced from the Bacardi family’s private reserves.

FACUNDO EXIMO (MSRP: $90.00) is available at ReserveBar.com.

Solera Aged Bourbon

Maybe your dad enjoys a nice whiskey on the rocks (we’re not judging), but allow us to introduce you to Hillrock Solera Aged Bourbon, which is the first American whiskey to be aged in the centuries-old Solera method used traditionally to create exceptional Sherries, Ports, Madeiras, and Cognacs. Recognized internationally, the award winning whiskey is finished in 20 year old Oloroso Sherry casks which give the Bourbon floral notes layered with fig, roasted walnuts, candied fruit and spicy rye.

Solera aging involves a pyramid of barrels where a small portion of whiskey is removed periodically from the lowest tier of barrels and an equal measure of new whiskey is added to the top barrels. No barrel in the Solera is ever emptied, and over time, the older whiskey in the Solera mingles with younger whiskies to create unmatched depth and complexity.

Barefoot’s Canned Spritzers are easy to pack and great for any on-the-go Spring activity like a family picnic in the park. The portable 8.4 ounce cans come in five flavors, Summer Red, Crisp White, Moscato, Red Sangria and Rosé, and are sold in 4-packs for under $10. This alternative to bottled wine offers wine lovers a convenient and refreshing way to enjoy Barefoot anytime and anywhere.

Krug Grande Cuvée 167th Edition

The archetype of Krug’s philosophy of craftsmanship and savoir-faire, Krug Grande Cuvée is recreated every year from a blend of around 120 wines from ten or more different vintages and three grape varietals.

Mod Selection Champagne

Splurge on dad this Father’s Day with Champagne from Mod Sélection, the purest expression of balance and terroir produced in Champagne today. Backed by Drake and Spirits Industry Mogul Brent Hocking, this champagne is sure to be a hit among the entire family.

Meiomi Pinot Noir

Meiomi’s vineyards can be found in California’s preeminent coastal wine regions, which have proven ideal for producing world-class Pinot Noir perfect for dad this year. Meiomi creates richly layered wines of bold character and exceptional balance.

Rabbit Hole’s Rye Whiskey

There is a boldness to this 95% Rye Whiskey. Kentucky distilled and aged, with a brown sugar nose and spice that jumps on the tongue. Great with a splash of water, but breathtaking in classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned. Rabbit Hole uses locally sourced grains and flame-charred barrels from Louisville’s Kelvin Cooperage. Their Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey has a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley. The rye is distilled and aged for at least 2 years in Kentucky before being bottled

For the sophisticated whiskey drinker, a bottle of barrel-aged Santa Teresa 1796 rum is sure to delight the palate. Dark, dry, and bold, a bottle of Santa Teresa 1796 holds blends aged up to 35 years in bourbon oak barrels for a smooth and balanced finish. With notes of wood, dark chocolate, leather and cinnamon, the Venezuelan super-premium rum holds a flavor palate similar to a scotch or whiskey.

Proud father of two and MMA Champion, Conor McGregor launched his Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey in late 2018, and the brand has since experienced world-renowned success. Proper No. Twelve is a blend of Ireland’s finest golden grain and single malt whiskey that is triple distilled and aged in oak barrels delivering a taste that is smooth and approachable with hints of vanilla, honey-like sweetness and toasted wood.

McGregor has said that his close relationship with his grandfather played a vital role in his decision to create an Irish whiskey brand of his own. He described his grandfather as an “avid, avid whiskey man” and emphasizes that it was his grandfather’s love and appreciation for Irish whiskey that encouraged him to study and “truly appreciate” the craft behind Irish Whiskey.

Treat Dad to a martini shaken, stirred, or however he likes it, by gifting him a bottle of Grey Goose vodka. The super-premium French vodka is smooth, rounded, and incredibly versatile, and pairs perfectly with everything from a splash of Benedictine and a lemon twist to your favorite bloody mary mix.

Cooper & Thief’s Tequila-Barrel Aged Sauvignon Blanc

This summer, switch things up Cooper & Thief’s Tequila-Barrel Aged Sauvignon Blanc. Stashed for three months in ex-Casa Noble Añejo tequila barrels, it’s an exciting and unusual choice for summer sipping and a light and intriguing alternative to sugary margaritas or the same old Sauvignon Blanc.

2015 BV Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Here’s a red-fruited cabernet that’s juicy and ripe, buoyed by the elegance of benchland tannins. Those tannins feel brisk, with rocky mineral edges and softer hints of leather. They gird the flavors, holding them tight, even as a beam of freshness shoots through the middle of the wine, brightening the formal structure.

Casa Noble Joven is the first ever tequila of its kind. At 102 proof, the higher alcohol content gives Joven an unmatched flavor experience, while aging it for 6 weeks brings forward notes of vanilla and a smooth finish. For the dad who wants a new, unique addition to his barcart!

Casa Noble Single Barrel Reposado

Casa Noble Single Barrel Reposado is aged in the finest French white oak barrels for 364 days, resulting in a hand-selected, limited edition Reposado of distinct character. This is a perfect gift for dad who loves all things luxury.

Mount Gay Black Barrel

The latest from Master Blender Allen Smith, Black Barrel is a small batch, handcrafted blend made of matured double pot distillates and aged column distillates. In a process called finishing, the blended rum is then matured for a second time in deeply charred Bourbon oak barrels. This unique process releases spicy aromas that are balanced and smooth.

Mount Gay XO (“Extra Old”)

The highest awarded rum in the world, XO is an opulent blend of the finest matured spirits, tropically aged in the range of eight to fifteen years. Embodying magnificently smokey notes of ripe banana, toffee and mocha by way of blending older barrels of predominantly double pot distillates, which are renowned for their round, crisp notes and subtle balance, Extra Old exudes the finesse that only time can bring.

This gift box includes the following curated whiskey set of 10 minis ( 50ml bottles)

Young & Yonder Stave Robber Bourbon

Some “big kids” — ’60s, ’70s and ’80s babies — might recognize some of their holiday favorites in the mix. The minis, now on-sale at HessToyTruck.com, are tiny versions of the 1975 Hess Box Trailer, the 1996 Hess Emergency Truck, and the 2011 Hess Toy Truck and Race Car.

Each miniature truck comes equipped with working lights, chrome accents, and a detachable display base with name plate. In addition, the Race Car features a pull-back motor. While Hess Toy Trucks first became a holiday staple in the 1960s, the Hess minis were introduced in 1998 as a way to commemorate vintage Hess Toy Trucks. Let dad enjoy this nostalgic moment this Father’s Day.
