Battleground Farm Bourbon Bullets
Does your dad enjoy a good bourbon? How about making it a great bourbon?! Get him the Triple Shot Whiskey Aging set from Battleground Farm. A selection of oak, maple, and cherry woods, that when placed in a bottle of bourbon, takes it to the next level! The bullet finishes any whiskey and adds the smoothness and subtle undertones of top shelf spirits in days. Veteran owned and operated, Battleground Farm Bourbon Bullets amaze the palate of even the most discerning aficionado. The oak adds pops of toffee, caramel, and vanilla. Cherry adds tart sweetness and removes the bite of a bourbon. And the maple pairs the best with vodka believe it or not – adding strong flavors of vanilla. Developed through a four-step process, the Bourbon Bullet works as a traditional whiskey barrel stave, but carries the iconic shape of one of the worlds fiercest military rounds - the .338 Lapua.
Battlegroundfarm.com, $27.95
Don’t forget the decanter set! Featuring an authentic .50 caliber machine gun bullet pressed into the side of the decanter and .308 rounds in the glasses.

Tahwahkaro Whiskey
Handcrafted from grain to glass in Texas, Tahwahkaro is an award-winning, well-balanced, whiskey. Each bottle is distilled, bottled, and hand-dipped in Palestine, Texas. Buy dad their cask strength or malt rye this year. The rye, reveals an explosion of unexpected flavors. The first sip is like a deep vanilla toffee mingled with pepper and spice but as it leaves, there’s this lingering taste of chocolate and buttered toast. Their cask strength is one of our favorites - soft up front and spicy on the back, with hints of licorice and lingering pepper and roasted caramel. Not to mention this punchy whiskey sits around 128 proof!
Balcones Lineage Single Malt Whiskey
Help dad branch out a bit from traditional scotches with Balcones Lineage. Texas-made, Lineage is made using a combination of Golden Promise malted barley from Scotland as well as malted barley grown in Texas. The spirit is matured both in refill oak, common in traditional Scottish Single Malts, and new oak barrels, as is the tradition with most American Whiskies. It’s the best of both worlds steeped in Scottish tradition and boasting the artisanship of trendy Texas distilleries. With a sweet nose of mulled cider, bruised bananas and peaches, tea tree and a taste of caramelized sweetness, soft oak, manuka honey, chestnuts and hint of red wine reduction, this whiskey will be sure to delight dad this year.
