Kill your dad with kindness - and a cigar
Rrring - rrring. Hello? Oh hello dad. Hello, I'll get your mother.
Such is the caricature of the relationship between the average brit and her/his father.
Father's day is over 100 years old in the US but rather more recent here, though nowadays celebrated rather more assiduously than in the past. Not all of you will be able to spend time with dad this weekend, but we can make sure both he and you are not forgotten and since they are complicated creatures we offer a variety of ways to make him quietly glow with pleasure and mild surprise.
We've got loads of wine he'd love, but for a traditional, manly gift we've some astonishing single cask malt whiskies, some very individual old cognacs and a neat little range of top Cuban cigars for the smoker. For your father we're offering free delivery* for the weekend on orders over £50, received by 3pm tomorrow, Thursday 12th.
If you are bereft of ideas, then the links below will help to provide inspiration based on your dad's character analysis.
For traditional dad, there is nothing better than a beautiful Bordeaux
For artistic dad, what could be a more natural match than supple, silky Burgundy
If your dad's a bit of an exciting character, then a robustly individual Italian is a great complement
And whether or not your dad wears a skirt, here's an expanded single cask malt selection
If you are still striving for inspiration we have picked out the highlights for you below... /CW
