Hopefully dad appreciates you just the way you are, but these items can’t hurt in helping him love you just a little bit more …
Highland Park 50
With only 275 bottles produced, this prestigious edition is set to become an exclusive collectors’ item.
Bottled at 44.8% ABV, Highland Park 50 Years Old is a vatting of five refill oak casks distilled in 1960. This higher proof brings out richness of this special whisky.
Each bottle is unique, encased a cage of hand-crafted sterling silver created by Scottish jewelry designer Maeve Gillies. The design was inspired by Orkney’s elemental forces and features a single piece of Orkney sandstone and a hand-carved Highland Park amulet. Inside the bottle, lies a Sterling silver replica of the St Magnus rose window which is revealed over time as the whisky is enjoyed.
A perfect gift for the Dad who has everything. Only $17,500

747 Cowling Bar
No idea how much this costs, but it has to be worth it! Any Dad could geek out with this bar fashioned from a cowling that housed a Pratt & Whitney jet engine that powered a Boeing 747 .
Each piece is custom made and is topped with a 1/2” of tempered glass top. Behind the bar includes a hardwood bar counter top with bottom shelves for storage.
Throw in a set of F-4 Bar Stools and Dad may never leave the house again.
Glace Luxury Ice
If you are going to put ice in your Scotch, it might as well be the best damn ice on the planet. Made from purified water, these 2. 5 inch sphere lack the minerals and impurities that can alter the taste of a fine spirit.
If you are lucky enough to have a Highland Park 50 or a Macallan 18, Glace Luxury Ice is the perfect accompaniment.
How perfect are these for Dad? They have special running, that how perfect!
