The Ultimate Father’s Day Gift Guide from Bourbon Lens

Posted on by Scott Dilley

What do you get the Whiskey-Loving Dad that has it all? Are you looking for something that isn’t just “another bottle of booze”? We’ve got you covered with our Bourbon Lens Father’s Day Gift Guide for 2024.

Let’s admit, being a Dad is one of the greatest things in the world; both Jake and I know since we each have two kids of our own. While we never expect anything in recognition of Father’s Day, we cannot deny that receiving a thoughtful gift is always fun! So, if you are looking for the perfect gift for your whiskey-loving Dad (husband or special Father figure in your life), we’ve got some great ideas for you ahead. This is a carefully curated list of whiskey-themed gifts that aren’t (the dreaded) whiskey stones or cocktail smoker kits that everyone has more than enough of.

Father’s Day Bourbon & Whiskey-Themed Ideas:

Original Grain x Jack Daniel’s Limited Edition Watch Collaboration:

I’ve had my eye on Original Grain Watches for a while now; their use of repurposed whiskey barrels (and many other unique materials) has always caught my eye. They are the perfect, yet subtle, way to announce your love for whiskey. Original Grain recently announced their collaboration with Jack Daniel’s and their 5 new watches are definitely eye-catching and a conversation starter. The new Original Grain x Jack Daniel’s Watch Collection is selling fast and all watches are Limited Edition, so don’t lose your opportunity to gift dad an amazing looking watch. If Jack Daniel’s isn’t his style, they also have a range of other offerings which utilize whiskey barrels that you need to check out too. Use code LENS to save 10% off your purchase at OriginalGrain.com.

WhistlePig CampStock and Solo Stove Kit:

What Dad doesn’t love a bonfire in the backyard? WhistlePig recently collaborated with Solo Stove for a new whiskey finished in barrels that were toasted using Solo Stove. The CampStock collaboration features a wheat whiskey finished in an innovative Solo Stove Bonfire toasted barrel from Independent Stave Company. Full details on the collaboration are posted on our website. CampStock is available online and nationwide now for $74.99, but the best deal is the combo kit with a Solo Stove and accessories. The WhistlePig CampStock Wheat Whiskey is available now from the WhistlePig Shop, or as part of the CampStock Campfire Kit with the Solo Stove Mesa XL for only $199.99. You can also purchase one of 3 Solo Stove x CampStock kits via the Solo Stove website, but act fast as these may sell out!

Messermeister x Chef Edward Lee Limited Edition Knife:

This is one unique collaboration which features a reclaimed Maker’s Mark Bourbon Barrel Stave Handle and an 8-Inch Black Damascus Steel Blade. The Limited Edition Chef Edward Lee Knife from Messermeister was handcrafted by artisans in Japan. Best of all, a portion of sales of the limited edition knife will benefit the Lee Initiative. Pre-order your dad one of these limited edition knives via the Messermeister website now as they are limited to only 750 produced.

The Bourbon Drinker’s Companion by Colin Spoelman:

Colin Spoelman is the Co-Founder of Kings County Distillery in New York. He’s also a talented author and story-teller. Go back and listen to Bourbon Lens Episode 211 with Colin to get a great sense of his passion and personality. His latest book, The Bourbon Drinker’s Companion: A Guide to American Distilleries, with Travel Advice, Folklore, and Tasting Notes, recently hit shelves in hardcover and digital format. I sat down with it over the course of several evenings and a couple glasses of bourbon and found myself wanting to read more and more before forcing myself to put it down. The book is an inside look at some of the nation’s most unique distilleries through the lens of a distillery founder and passionate whiskey-maker. The Bourbon Drinker’s Companion is packed full of entertaining narratives about Colin’s travels, insightful commentary on the state of the whiskey world, and nerdy infographics for those constantly seeking to expand their whiskey knowledge. If you want to open someone’s eyes to the world outside of Kentucky Bourbon, gift them a copy of this book. Full details can be found in our mini-review and press announcement about the book’s publication. (Purchase via our Amazon Affilate Link)

Bourbon Land by Chef Edward Lee:

I’ve been on a “booze book” kick over the last year and this is likely one of the more unique spins on a booze book. Full of short essays and fun recipes, it is Chef Edward Lee’s “love letter” to Kentucky Bourbon. The book is a primer on Kentucky Bourbon and is an eye-opening showcase of how versatile the spirit can be on your bar and in your kitchen. Chef Edward Lee is a world-famous chef who has made Louisville, Kentucky his home and this book highlights his love for Kentucky Bourbon and the place he calls home. Buy your dad a copy of the hardcover version of Bourbon Land by Edward Lee to add to his whiskey library (affiliate link).

Aged & Ore Bottle Flight and Neat Traveler Glass:

Is your Dad more of the outdoors-type? Is he going camping soon or maybe heading to a concert. Either way, he needs a safe way to transport his favorite whiskey. This is a perfect gift for dad as he can take his bourbon or whiskey anywhere he wants! Available in 750ml and 375ml sizes, it’s great for any trip.
