Jim Beam’s Special Father’s Day Package Might Be the Best Deal Ever

Whiskey is a wonderful Father’s Day gift. How could it not be? If your dad’s been killing it this year with his dadittude: whiskey. If you, as a son, realize that you weren’t being the best you could be in the previous 365: whiskey. As long as your father drinks, whiskey is pretty much the perfect gift. Jim Beam recognizes that and is giving people the chance to really make a play for “Best Son Ever” by selling the Bonding Over Bourbon Experience, a special Father’s Day gift that’ll blow his freaking mind (if you can get it).

The Bonding Over Bourbon Experience is a chance to show dad the ins and outs of the highest-rated bourbons in the world — all for the price of a single bottle of the stuff. Sold through Jom Beam’s online store, the Bonding Over Bourbon Experience includes:

  • Round-trip flights for two to Kentucky
  • Two-night hotel stay in downtown Louisville
  • Behind-the-scenes Jim Beam distillery tour
  • Exclusive meet-and-greet with Jim Beam’s seventh-generation master dDistiller, Fred Noe
  • Dinner for two at a renowned local Kentucky restaurant
  • Round of golf at a local course
  • Limited-edition Jim Beam Black gift box with a decanter, rocks glasses, and a luggage tag

That’s right, folks — for t$25, you can blow your dad’s G-D mind. (And once, it’s blown, you can check out our favorite spots in Louisville and blow it even more.)

Obviously, they only are selling a limited amount of these (the first available run that was seemingly sold out in the amount of time it took to write this sentence), but they will be re-releasing the experience at various points between now and Father’s Day. You can find out when they will be releasing the restocks exclusively on the Jim Beam Facebook page.

If you’re lucky enough to snag one of these (and why wouldn’t you?), you’ll still have to book your own travel (Jim Beam will provide gift cards for the travel, hotel, et cetera), but that miniscule amount of work seems negligible when you consider that you’ll have only spent a tiny bit of money and gotten a ton of stuff for it (you know, like the feeling of being the eternal victor over your siblings because a tie, a phone call, and a Facebook post ain’t got shit on this).

You can try your clicker finger at getting one of these insane deals at the Jim Beam online store.

Europe is slowly embracing wine in pouches instead of bottles. Is America next? 
Medley Wine Co.

Boxed wine gets a bad rap because, well, it’s wine in a box. You’ve heard all the negative connotations by now: They’re cheap, unsophisticated, and downright boring. You walk into any party with boxed wine, and you’ll not only raise eyebrows, but also be persona non grata at the next shindig. I’ve personally never sipped wine from a box, though that has a lot to do with the fact that my introduction to wine happened when a date of mine from more than 20 years ago ordered a bottle of Château Ste. Michelle Riesling at a restaurant I frequented. The Riesling was sweet, crisp, and truly delicious for someone who runs on beer, tequila, rum, and whiskey. That bottle of Riesling, however, sparked curiosity: Buying a dozen red and white bottles of wine from my local shop in Pasadena, California. The bottles sat mostly on my wine rack collecting dust. I’d open one every few months when guests preferred something buttery or fruity over carbonated or oaky booze.

It wasn’t until my trip across Tuscany in April 2018 that I really learned to appreciate wine. After touring the tiny village, one wine came out on top, and it’s one I order every chance I get when dining out: Chianti Classico. But always make sure the bottle carries the black rooster symbol. The older I get, the more I appreciate a glass of wine. Heck, last summer while visiting Cuban Creations Cigar Bar in New Orleans, the lovely waitress recommended a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon for the Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva cigar I was about to light. It was a great recommendation.

Bowmore is bringing a new 20-year-old Islay single malt to the US
Whisky, Scotch, Bottle

Twenty years is a long time to wait for anything, let alone a whisky, but Bowmore is betting its newest release is one worth the delay.

The distillery, founded in 1779 in the town of Bowmore, is the oldest licensed distillery on Islay. It’s also the second-oldest in Scotland, and one of the few that still runs its own floor maltings, using peat smoke to dry the barley on-site.
