There’s a Bushmills for every dad this Father’s Day

Treat your dad this June 21st 

Father's Day will be here before we know it, and we want to make sure our father figures know just how impactful they are this year. They've been with us through the highs and lows of every life stage, whether that was our first day of school or when we first moved out, and this Father's Day, we want them to realise just how much they've helped shape us.

Father's Day is about so much more than giving them a card with money for a pint or a bog-standard jumper they'll wear to the pub. It's about celebrating the impact your dad has had on you, and the values you inherited from him.

It's about celebrating the man who not only inspired you, but also the one who was always there to wipe your tears away after a hard day in school or who helped you move into your first house-share. Our dads helped inspire who we are; they taught us how to be strong, how to use our voices, and how to treat others. He's the one who reminds you to always stand up for yourself and who ensures you never feel alone during the hard times.

They're our biggest inspirations, the people we learned so much from, and the ones we inherited our strongest beliefs from.

We want to ensure we give back to them this Father's Day and show them just how much they mean to us, and thanks to Bushmills Irish Whiskey, that has never been easier. 

When it comes to picking a whiskey to gift someone, you're not only gifting them a bottle but a story. Each bottle is packed full of stories waiting to be written and memories ready to be made. It's the drink you'll share when you graduate, when you buy your first home, and when you toast to new beginnings when you find a new job.

We have put together a list of some of our favourite Bushmills Irish Whiskies to help you choose the perfect bottle for your dad.
