Last-minute Father's Day gift ideas - from brownies to tequila

Father's Day falls on June 19 in 2022 and if you are running short of inspiration there are plenty of ideas out there that could be right for you.

PATRÓN teams up with Fortnum & Mason to launch a one-of-a-kind Barrel Select Añejo Tequila

PATRÓN, the world’s number one ultra-premium tequila, has teamed up with iconic British department store Fortnum & Mason to launch a one-of-a-kind Barrel Select Añejo Tequila. The tequila has been passionately handcrafted in small batches, as the bottling has aged for 26 months in a barrel made of American and French oak.

No less than 60 hands are involved in the making of each bottle from start to finish, from the harvesting of the Weber Blue Agave to the hand numbering and signing of every one, making it a perfect gift for deserving fathers this Father’s Day: the ultimate spirit to take pride of place in any drink’s cabinet. Calligraphy personalisation will be available in-store for the perfect Father’s Day gift.

360 bottles of Fortnum & Mason x PATRÓN Barrel Select Añejo Tequila are available for purchase for £85 (RRP 70cl) in store and online from fortnumandmason.com

Old Pulteney’s Taste of The SeaWhisky and Seafood Masterclass

To celebrate Father’s Day this year, Old Pulteney, The Maritime Malt, has partnered with a top Manchester cooking school, to create the ultimate whisky and fish cooking experience for you and your dad.

An unforgettable gift experience for a dad who enjoys spending time in the kitchen, Old Pulteney’s Taste of the Sea Whisky and Seafood Masterclass aims to teach attendees everything they need to know about preparing fish dishes at home, from removing bones to filleting, all enjoyed over a dram of Old Pulteney’s 12 Years Old Single Malt, the definitive expression in the distillery’s collection.

The relaxed evening class will include basic fish preparation skills, including how best to use your fishmonger and tips and tricks on how to create sumptuous coastal recipes at home. Attendees will also learn three delicious recipes, all created with Old Pulteney’s delicious core collection.

While you cook, experts will guide you through the tasting notes of the Maritime Malt and explain how its unique flavour compliments each dish.

Each expression in Old Pulteney’s range of single malt scotch whiskies captures the essence of its home on the Northerly shores of the Caithness Coast, in rural Scotland. Matured by the sea, Old Pulteney casks breathe the sea air year after year, leaving a distinctively briny taste that pairs perfectly with seafood dishes.

A perfect Father’s Day gift, the experience aims to create an opportunity for fathers across the UK to spend quality time with loved ones, but can also be enjoyed solo. Afterwards, dad will receive an Old Pulteney recipe book so that he can make more delicious dishes at home.

The three hour masterclass takes place on Saturday, July 02 at Manchester’s Food Sourcery cooking school. Tickets cost £95 per person and can be purchased here.
