Have Some Fat Trout for Father’s Day

We know that Mother’s Day is less than two weeks away, but here at The Manual, we’re already thinking about Father’s Day. It’s not that we don’t love our mothers (every good man does), but it’s just we know how quickly the time between parental celebrations can pass.

This Father’s Day (June 15 in case you didn’t already know), we recommend buying your old man a bottle of The Fat Trout Scotch Whisky. In our opinion, a good scotch is always a solid gift for a distinguished gentleman, and Fat Trout is no different.

Tabbed with the label “The Sportsman’s Choice”, The Fat Trout is a blended scotch whisky, which means that it goes down with less of the overt (but very often great) burn of a single malt scotch. Plus, The Fat Trout comes with a prestigious pedigree—it is produced in the Speyside Region of Scotland by the world renowned Ian Macleod Distillers. Established in 1933, Ian Macleod is responsible for some of the finest scotches in the world, including Glengoyne Highland Single Malt.

You might ask, “But what if my dad isn’t a huge scotch fan?” But that’s just silly. In our opinion, all men are scotch fans whether they know it or not. The Fat Trout is the perfect scotch to ease your dad into the world of wonderful, peaty, smoky flavor. Its blend of thirty different single malts makes for a purely enjoyable drinking experience for even the most reluctant scotch drinker.

The Fat Trout is the ideal sipping whisky for sitting on the dock or on the beach and casting a few lines into the water.  So, in the end, you give your dad two gifts on Father’s Day: a bottle of smooth scotch and a day of fishing together. That sounds like a pretty good deal to us.

According to a recent survey by Danone America, 84% of Americans have become more interested in "functional" foods and products that support gut health. These changing wellness trends are affecting nearly every type of food and beverage product, and they've now made their way into your morning coffee mug as well. Popular coffee brand Bulletproof Coffee believes gut health is the future of coffee, adapting its product line to include science-based ingredients that transform a delicious cup of coffee into a gut-supporting beverage. I chatted with Stephanie Hoffman, Director of R&D and Quality at Bulletproof Coffee, to learn more about gut health and coffee.
Gut health in the wellness world

According to Hoffman, "Gut health has become a major focus not just in the wellness world, but in general, as people are recognizing its deep connection to energy, immunity, mood, and mental clarity." With this in mind, Bulletproof has adopted a mindset that your morning coffee should do more than wake you up.

Perfectly described by Chris Smith, co-owner and founder of Ground Ops Roastery + Bakehouse, "The day doesn't truly begin until that first sip of coffee." Yet, according to Smith, the story of coffee extends far beyond its role as just a drink. Coffee has so many uses both inside and outside of the kitchen -- that most of us coffee drinkers fail even to acknowledge. From cooking with coffee grounds, such as in tenderizing meat, to using them as fertilizer for plants, consider these surprising uses for ground coffee.
