If you’re looking for a gift for Dad this Father’s Day and want to give him a bottle of something nice (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) here’s a little Dads Stuff guide to some options he might like.
Barnes & Brown ‘Southern Belle’ Non-Alcoholic Bourbon
Inspired by traditional Southern bourbon, this non-alc spirit delivers warming notes of vanilla, chocolate, orange and charred oak – all without the booze. A perfect pick for dads who love the flavour but want to skip the ABV.
RRP $35 AUD – Available at CraftZero
Pantalones Organic Tequila – Blanco & Reposado
Co-founded by Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves, this cheeky (pants-free) brand is redefining tequila. Blanco is bright and citrusy with a sweet cooked agave finish. Reposado is aged 9 months in American oak whiskey barrels, delivering smooth vanilla and a whisper of oak.

Reposado: RRP $199.99 AUD – Available at Dan Murphy’s

The original Small Batch that helped define the category – handcrafted with warm spice, subtle smoke, and aged in Level 3 charred oak barrels. A top-tier choice for dads who know their bourbon (and those who want to).
RRP $79.99 AUD – Available at Dan Murphy’s
The Dalmore 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch
A prestige whisky matured in ex-bourbon barrels and rare Oloroso sherry casks, delivering layers of citrus, spice, and dark chocolate. Smooth, complex, and undeniably luxurious – this one’s for the top-shelf dads.

Tamdhu 15 Year Old
Awarded Gold at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, this deeper, more complex dram reveals layers of dried fruit, sherried spice, and mellow oak, a perfect choice for the discerning whisky lover.

Tamdhu is Singularly Sherry in style, distilled in 100% sherry oak cask matured from beginning to end, and singularly exceptional.
