Bowmore Timeless 31-Year-Old
Bowmore Timeless 31-Year-Old is a masterpiece beautifully crafted and shaped by time with an unwavering attention to detail. The 31-year-old single malt was matured in ex-Bourbon casks for 29 years and finished for two years in Spanish oak Matusalem Sherry-seasoned butts. With Bowmore Timeless Series, the key is the careful selection of the right casks, at the right time making it one of the most sophisticated and coveted single malts. It was created exclusive to Global Travel Retail and is limited to just 3,000 bottles in the world.
Suntory Whisky Toki
Toki signifies "time" in Japanese. The House of Suntory’s fourth Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo brought the grain component of the blend from the Chita distillery, where the heavy-type grain whisky is distilled only twice on column stills, and is sweet and vanilla-rich in its unblended state. He sourced the malt component from the Hakushu distillery, which produces light, fruity malt similar to many Speyside distilleries. These seemingly dissimilar but deeply accordant whiskies, together with select Yamazaki malts for additional depth and complexity gave rise to the exquisite, silky taste, distinctive character and bold innovation of the blended Suntory Whisky Toki.
Greater Than
Greater than by NAO Spirits is the first craft gin and only London Dry gin made in India. The white spirit made with botanicals sourced from all across the world tastes of clean Juniper with fresh lemon peel on the nose and a zing of ginger on the finish making it perhaps the perfect summer spirit. The light alcohol paired with Tonic water and flavoured mixers can be used to prepare and enjoy refreshing cocktails with your Dad's this International Fathers Day.
Chivas 12
Chivas 12, a 12-year-old blend, is created to be enjoyed as part of a high-energy, celebratory moment. The new-look Chivas 12 seeks to capture the attention of a new successful, status-driven and style-conscious generation of Scotch Whisky drinkers. Made up of the finest malt and grain Scotch whiskies, this 12-year-old blended Scotch whisky is the signature blend and will be an ideal gift to your father.
Monkey47
Produced in the Black Forest region of Germany, Monkey47 is one of the most aromatic gins one can find. The accents of lime, fleshy berries and a woody forest floor give the gin both levity and depth. The fresh and exuberant Monkey 47 will surely become a favorite for those dads who are experimental and modern yet very evolved.
Shori double malt whisky
The four times filtered double malt whiskey could be just the companion for you to strike a serious discussion or simply an appreciative session with your dad. From fancy meals to casual snacks - it gets the dice rolling for every situation.
Sipsmith
Inspired by two hundred years of London distilling history, the creation of Sipsmith balances modern technology with traditional recipes and techniques. With the finest quality botanicals sourced from all over the globe, Sipsmith is crafted with a technique known as ‘one-shot’ distilling and is a perfect balance of 10 unique botanicals that make it smooth enough for a Martini, yet rich and balanced, perfect for a G&T. A quintessential expression of the London Dry Gin, every bottle of Sipsmith is handcrafted in genuinely small batches and every drop is lovingly laboured by hand, by dedicated distillers.
Simba Beer-
Who does love some chilled beer and Simba is offering three of their best for chill this Father’s Day.
Wit - A modern Indian take on the classic Belgian Wit style. It is refreshing, with slight citrusy notes, without being overly sweet. It derives spice notes from the coriander seeds, but what makes this craft beer special is the subtle hints of lemongrass on the nose and palate. It pours golden hazy, with a fluffy head. It is light-bodied and refreshing, making it extremely sessionable
Stout - A sessionable, light-bodied stout – India’s first bottled stout. It has been specifically crafted for low-bitterness and easy drinking. On the nose and the palate, coffee dominates, along with complimentary aromas of toffee, caramel, and dark chocolate. Stout is a very rare taste which is meant for people who like to experiment with their beers
Lager - Smooth and fresh, Simba Lager is for those with refined taste. It is carefully offset and completed with its old gold shading and the rich smell of meal; it is a delightful and decisively adjusted ale that is a benchmark of its distinct style.

Mai tai
'Out of this world' is what the name of the cocktail means and indeed it is. Escape to a nice tropical beach somewhere in the world at any time of the day with MR. JERRY’S take on the Mai Tai, a blend of gold rum, white rum and spiced rum, mixed with pomegranate molasses, orgeat or almond syrup and citrus cordial. Sweet sour goodness with complex flavours from the rums is best enjoyed by pouring 100 ml of the mix over crushed ice or simply pour over ice cubes and garnish with a pineapple or a flower if you please.

Cucumber & Elderflower Fizz
It has got gin, with fresh cucumber, lime and elderflower so expect tons of floral and citrusy goodness here. To make the perfect daytime refresher they suggest adding 100 ml into a tall glass with lots of ice and topping up with either soda or tonic water.
Be experimental with the tonic waters available near you. Add a cucumber slice to be fancy.
Taste notes: Floral and zesty with a touch of freshness from the cucumber.
Espresso Martini
This one is a lot of fun, coffee, vanilla and vodka. MR. JERRY’S uses a strong espresso strength cold brew and blend it with vanilla syrup, vodka and a touch of grated nutmeg. This drink is sweet but silky smooth and goes down very easily.
Taste notes: Super smooth sweet style cocktail best enjoyed post dinner, intense coffee bitterness rounded by the vanilla and nutmeg.
Ol fashioned
Simple elegant and super tasty Old fashioned, a drink that is considered the grandfather of cocktails with over 200 years of history. The honeyed notes from the whisky are enhanced by the addition of honey, sugar and aromatic bitters which give it depth and complexity. A garnish of an orange slice makes it a brilliant drink to savour.
Taste notes: Strong, bold and aromatic with a well rounded spirit forward robustness from the whisky.

Another variation involves replacing the cola with ginger ale making it spicy and refreshing.
