Hey guys, I'm going to grab my dad a nice bottle of bourbon for Father's Day, but need some ideas. Blanton's is usually my go to for him but I want to go a different direction. What are some that you guys enjoy and recommend?

Thanks in advance!

Uncle Nearest is good. Goes for $55 or so, depending on which style.

It's "the fastest-growing and most-awarded new whiskey brand in America." LINK

Bookers or Bakers Single Barrel if you can find it.

If we are talking something that will be readily available to grab off the shelf I’d say Woodford Double Oak or Forrester 1920 like Toof said.

What he said.

I'll add Woodford Double Oaked to that, which others have said as well.

It is one I have been thoroughly enjoying, and is one in Alabama that I can actually get.

But seriously, I would suspect in the bourbon realm anything from Eagle Rare to Blanton's would be acceptable. I can't ever think of a time I got a bottle of bourbon as a gift and thought "You monster, why the hell didn't you get me Willet's Pot Still Reserve?"


Exactly. My go to bourbon is Old Forester 100 proof, so I'm not that picky. Sometimes I'll "splurge" and get Makers 46. I've had everything from cheap stuff that isn't even suitable for mixing to Booker's, Blanton's, etc. If someone gets me a bottle I thank them and enjoy it.
