This Father’s Day, skip the golf socks and novelty ties. Your old man deserves something bold. Something handcrafted, straight-shooting, and unapologetically American. Whether he’s a backyard legend, a garage tinkerer, or the guy who always taught you to “check the oil,” Flying Ace Whiskey has a bottle made for dads who live life full throttle.
Here’s our ultimate gift guide for the Maverick Dad – featuring five uniquely crafted Flying Ace whiskeys for every kind of father figure.
For the Classic Dad: Flying Ace Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Every dad has a signature move – the perfect pancake flip, the go-to movie quote, the ability to fix just about anything with duct tape. For the dad who keeps it classic, our Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the bottle that never misses. Aged to perfection and full of bold character, it’s rich, oaky, and made for slow sipping by the fire (or while admiring the lawn he just mowed in diagonal stripes).
Gift Pairing Tip: Add a sturdy tumbler and a Yeti flask for maximum dad cred.
For the Nostalgic Dad: Flying Ace Caramel Corn Whiskey
This one’s for the dads who remember nickel popcorn, station wagons with wood paneling, and dragging you to every county fair within 100 miles. Flying Ace Caramel Corn Whiskey is sweet, smooth, and packed with throwback flavor. It’s like a summer carnival in a bottle, just with a bit more punch.
Serve It: Over ice with a dash of cream soda for a dessert-worthy twist.
For the Chill Dad: Flying Ace Peach Whiskey
He’s laid-back. He’s got the best playlist. And he never once yelled at you for denting the mower blade. Flying Ace Peach Whiskey is his match – light, fruity, and easy to sip. It shines in summer cocktails (hello, Front Porch Salute) or straight from the cooler next to the grill.
Best Paired With: Folding chairs, neighborhood BBQs, and stories that start with “Back in my day…”
For the Spicy Dad: Flying Ace Cinnamon Whiskey
This is for the dad who likes it hot. The one who douses everything in hot sauce and considers jalapeños a snack. Flying Ace Cinnamon Whiskey is bold, fiery, and doesn’t pull any punches, just like him. It’s a shot-and-a-beer classic with a smooth finish that keeps you coming back for more.
Father’s Day Move: Chill it in the freezer for a cold shot with a slow burn.
For the Wildcard Dad: Flying Ace Black Cherry Whiskey
He’s unpredictable, but in the best way. One minute he’s fixing the leaky faucet, the next he’s attempting to build a smoker from an old barrel. Flying Ace Black Cherry Whiskey is his bottle: rich, a little tart, and totally unexpected. It’s great in a Whiskey Sour-style twist or simply poured over ice with cola.
Perfect Pour: Try it with a single large ice cube and a cherry on top. Classy but cool.
This Father’s Day, skip the clichés. Toast to the Maverick Dad with a whiskey that’s as bold as he is.
