Father’s Day weekend should be a time where dads get to do pretty much whatever they want, including raking in the gifts from their loved ones. We’re doing things a bit differently in this edition of Spirit. Ed’s Father’s Day roundups by highlighting bottles we think will make a great gift for Dad.

Usually for Father’s Day, I like to feature an array of cocktails and such. However, with so many options out here, I decided to break things apart for once. Of course, there are bottles out there worth the splurge for Dad, but he might be a simple man who just wants a quality bottle of liquor, no matter the price tag.

Below, I’m sharing a number of bottles that’ll make great gifts for Dad’s big day, including some of my own personal favorites.

Happy Father’s Day to all.
