As Dads ourselves, we know that many dads will say “you don’t have to get me anything for Father’s Day.” We all know that is just the polite way of saying “please get me something,” without asking for it outright. If you are a son, daughter, or wife and looking for a special gift for the dad in your life, the Bourbon Lens has you covered with our Father’s Day Gift Guide.
Unlike our Christmas Gift Guide where gift ideas were broken down into price ranges, we will be looking at gifts in categories from Bourbon & Whiskey, to Experiences, and even Lifestyle Products.

Father’s Day Bourbon & Whiskey Ideas
Are you looking for your new favorite bourbon cocktail this summer? Simply grab a bottle of Misunderstood Whiskey, Club Soda and Ice and your whiskey mule is ready!
Made with real good whiskey and real good ginger! Misunderstood is a blend of select bourbon and American whiskey, aged in American oak barrels, & finished with two types of real ginger for a refreshingly distinct taste. The ginger recipe balances perfectly with the soft and subtle sweetness of its high corn mashbill, making Misunderstood approachable for rookies, yet complex enough for connoisseurs. Misunderstood is blended and bottled at 80 proof in Bardstown, Kentucky. It’s even gluten free and vegan friendly. We think your dad will enjoy this one all summer!
Jon Taffer’s Browned Butter Bourbon:
Every Dad enjoys a lazy Sunday. Even your dad may have turned on the Paramount Network and caught Jon Taffer’s Bar Rescue. While Jon might be known for saving bars, he has also dipped his toe into the world of whiskey with his new Browned Butter Bourbon, perfect for your favorite savory dish or evening dessert.
Jon Taffer knows a stand-out spirit when he tastes one. After all, he’s spent years transforming bars from the brink of closure into profitable businesses, a mission that is so often inspired by the perfect pour. It was while producing one of his many episodes of Bar Rescue that Taffer and his chefs were experimenting in the kitchen after a long day of production — it’s the relentless creativity during these after-hours moments where many great culinary ideas originate.
A concept came to him, a way to fuse an indulgent favorite ingredient with the bold complexity of whiskey. When he did, the result was a delicious sensory journey that he knew had to be shared. And just like that, Taffer’s Browned Butter Bourbon — a match made in culinary heaven — was born.
Blue Run Spirits Double Oaked Rye Whiskey
You know that Dads and whiskey go hand-in-hand. Some of our favorite Bourbon Enthusiasts recently partnered with Blue Run to give their thoughts on different single barrels of Double Oaked Rye Whiskey and we knew we had to include it in our gift guide.
Blue Run Double Oaked Single Barrel Rye Whiskey is Blue Run’s first whiskey aged in two separate new American White Oak barrels – both with a #3 medium toast char level. The first barrel does the heavy lifting, aging the fine whiskey for the majority of its journey. But before bottling, the handcrafted whiskey is then put into another new barrel for a final finishing that lends extra sweetness from the newness of that char, matching perfectly with the spiciness of the concentrated rye flavors.
“With single barrel releases over 100 proof, this whiskey was already packed with flavor, but we wanted to add just a little more smoke depth to match the spicy rye,” said Blue Run co-founder and CEO Mike Montgomery. “Opting for a new, freshly charred oak barrel for the finishing versus a used port or other wine varietal barrel is a different tact in keeping with our quest for innovative whiskey experiences. Having whiskey dads provide the tasting notes was a great way for us to get even closer to our fans.”

Lifestyle Products for Father’s Day:
Aged & Ore Travel Glass: It’s summertime and Dad may be headed to his favorite vacation spot soon and doesn’t know how to pack his favorite whiskey glass on the road. This product has Dad covered and can even hold 2 oz of his favorite whiskey to help get his vacation started!
High Camp Flask: Is your Dad going backpacking soon, heading to a concert, or just needing a safe way to transport his favorite pour? 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.
Fresh Clean Threads T-Shirt Pack: One thing we can all agree is that dad always needs to look Fresh! I recently ordered some of the Fresh Clean Threads T-Shirts and believe it’s a perfect functional T-shirt for all occasions and for every size dad.
BabylissPro Baberology Double Foil Shaver: If your dad is anything like Jake and has a beard, he knows that stubble above or below the beard line can be annoying. After all, one reason we have a beard is because we hate shaving. This tool is something my barber uses and every time I go in, I think to myself “I need this!” This year, I have formally requested this as my Father’s Day gift.
