Diageo teamed up with The Bar to create the ideal gift set for the grill-master father, pairing leather-and-suede grill gloves with the Lagavulin Distillers Edition – part of Diageo's latest Distillers Edition Collection, a limited-edition release of six exceptional single malt Scotch whiskies – that happens to pair perfectly with grilled steak. The smoky Islay Malt is punctuated with sweet notes from the Pedro Ximenez-seasoned casks it's aged in. SRP $150, thebar.com
Only 3,000 bottles of this late-harvest Barolo were released in 2023, marked by its powerful yet pure qualities derived from the 50-year-old Nebbiolo vines used to create this unique expression. The wine is ready to drink, in fact it is elegant in the glass with a nose of blood orange and rustic earth and texture of pure silk, but it can also be aged in case dad wants to save it for future special occasions.

Slowly aged in French barrels for a minimum of 10 years, Bisquit & Dubouché X.O. is crafted from the rares eaux-de-vie from the Grande and petite Champagne crus. Having received 94 points in the 2021 Ultimate Spirits Challenge and 92 points in the same year's Beverage Testing Institute, this Cognac has been highly sought after for its notes of plum and wood as well as its exceptional smoothness.

If there's ever a time to splurge on the father figure in your life, it's Father's Day. As part of The Dalmore's Principal Collection, The Dalmore 25 is an ultra-premium bottle for the luxury collector. Matured in American white oak, ex-bourbon casks then aged in Tawny port pipes and casks, the whisky presents exotic notes of passionfruit and fig along with vanilla and toffee. SRP $1,950, reservebar.com
Having spent 25 months in American whiskey casks, Clase Azul Añejo Tequila poses a full body and complex character for an añejo variety. The nose of cinnamon, clove and vanilla are more reminiscent of a whisky rather than aged tequila, which follows through to the nutmeg, orange and toasted oak on the palate. As the ultimate sipping tequila, it only makes sense the decanter is gorgeous, for a longstanding place on dad's bar cart. SRP $549, drizly.com
There may be no other decanter quite as enduring as LOUIS XIII The Classic Decanter, encasing up to 1,200 eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne terroir since 1874. While the Cognac remains the ultimate expression of the Maison's finest blends, the decanters are all singular, hand-crafted by European crystal houses with a 20-carat gold neck. It's an icon for any spirits lover and one that can be savored for many momentous occasions to come. SRP $4,199, reservebar.com
Created by Silver Oak owner David Duncan as an ode to his dad, Ray Duncan, Timeless Napa Valley's first vintage (2017) was the first new brand from Silver Oak in two decades. The single vineyard red wine is rested for 16 months in French oak barrels, resulting in a balanced wine with dried floral aromas but ripe cherry on the palate. The 2019 vintage is the third iteration and is packaged in a three-bottle collection; one to enjoy on Father's Day and the other two can be cellared for future years. SRP $525, silveroak.com
Wrapped in a copper-color cage that permits hues of the rosé to peek through, this premium champagne from Beau Joie is a stately presentation for dad. The bubbles are round and delicate as they leave lingering notes of berry on the palate with a medium to bold structure and high acidity to cut exceptionally buttery complements, like caviar and oysters.
