GIFT: Premium Spirits For Father’s Day
|
For Father’s Day, here are some spirits that will light up Father’s Day for that special Dad who loves tequila or vodka.
Casa Herradura has two superior expressions for the tequila lover: HERRADURA SELECCIÓN SUPREMA, EXTRA-AÑEJO Herradura Selección Suprema is the highest grade tequila from Casa Herradura. Aged for more than 49 months in American oak barrels, it has a very dark copper hue, paired with an intense aroma of brown spice and floral notes. This is an enormously complex, world-class sipping tequila for the connoisseur. The suggested retail price is $350 for a 750ml bottle. Pricey, yes; but for tequila lovers, it should be a memorable experience. At a more affordable price is Herradura’s limited edition Colección de la Casa, Reserva 2014 – Scotch Cask Finish Reposado. |

It undergoes a double maturation process after resting in two different types of oak casks: American oak and single malt Scotch casks. This creates a totally new flavor profile for fine tequila. The suggested retail price is $89.99. For more information visit Herradura.com. |

TITO’S HANDMADE VODKA Tito’s Handmade Vodka is one of the fastest-growing craft spirits, and it’s gluten-free (made from 100% corn mash). Wine Enthusiast magazine scored it higher than Belvedere, Grey Goose and Ketel One. It’s made in small batches (microdistilled) in an old fashioned pot still by Tito Beveridge (that’s his actual name), a geologist who first made it for Christmas gifts. Friends encouraged him to go commercial. His boot-strapped brew won the double gold medal at the World Spirits Competition and put Tito’s on the map. We found it online for prices ranging from $17.99 to $32.99. Here’s a store locator on the company website. |
