Give your Dad something special this Fathers Day.
With Fathers Day just a few days away there are numerous offers on Scotch single malt whiskies available in the big High Street supermarkets so I thought I would make a few suggestions for those gift buyers looking for something special to hand their Dad this coming Sunday.
Macallan Gold:
 Why not treat your Dad to a bottle of The Macallan Gold, the first expression in the Macallan 1824 Series which is
a series of single malt Scotch whiskies
where each whisky takes its name from
the colour of whisky.
William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
Nose: Finely balanced honey,
vanilla, orange and raisins.
Taste: Lightly sweet, light
creamy vanilla followed by a raisins,
orange and lemon peel, some light oak
spice, cinnamon.
Finish: Bitter sweet, a touch of
cinnamon, a mild slowly drying sherried
oakiness
SMW Score 86/100
The Macallan Gold is available in multiple retailers including Tesco, Waitrose, Sainsbury’s, Asda and Morrisons (RRP £35.99).
Highland Park 12 Year Old:
 Highland Park 12 Year Old is the perfect gift for Dad’s who are fans of flavour. Often described as an all round single malt offering a bit of everything. A superb single malt whisky for your money which boasts first a honey and barley sweetness, then fruit, a touch of wood, some spice and lovely gentle subtle peaty smoke.
William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
Nose: A lovely heather honey and barley sweetness and very mild peaty smokiness, hint of sweet sherry.
Taste: Lovely malty notes coated in a gentle heather honey sweetness. A very subtle smoke hovers in the background accompanied by just a touch of citrus fruit.
Finish: A touch of
vanilla, heather honey, a mildly drying subtle peat.
SMW Score 91/100
The Highland Park 12 Year Old is available in multiple retailers including Tesco where it is currently on sale for £25 which is a big saving on the RRP of £34.00.
Ardmore Traditional Cask:
 Ardmore Traditional Cask is the perfect whisky for a Dad who appreciates time honoured craftsmanship. Ardmore has continued to adhere to their traditional ways of distilling since 1898, when the distillery was first founded. This single malt whisky offers a full and rich taste, with unique and rare highland peat-smoke tones, followed by a smooth, subtle sweetness.
William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
Nose: Fresh, clean, creamy, mild peat smoke, touch of oak spice.
Taste: Sweet, creamy, touch of vanilla and spice all coated in a delicious mild peat smoke with just a hint of ripe fruit in the background.
Finish: Mild creamy sweet Highland peat and touch of oak slowly fade.
SMW Score 87/100
Ardmore Traditional Cask is available in multiple retailers including Tesco where it is currently on sale for £28 which is a good saving on the RRP of £32.00
