Wiser’s Legacy
Rating: NNN
Why Cinnamon baked apples and plenty of oak (maybe a tad too much) make a satisfying accompaniment to a light cigar and a heart-to-heart with your old man. Most importantly, Wiser’s Legacy is one of Papa Parniak’s preferred treats.

Laphroaig 10 Year Old
Rating NNNN
Why Thicken the hair on pa’s chest with the world’s bestselling Islay single malt. Beyond the obvious peat bomb is a big-hearted whisky with a toffee core spritzed with sea spray, citrus, dried flowers and iodine. Delicious.
Price 750 ml/$80.95

Booker’s Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Rating: NNNN
Why Booker Noe, bourbon legend and grandson of Jim Beam, kick-started a demand for cask-strength whiskey after he released his signature sip in the early 90s. Unbridled and brawny, this is one hell of a dram for one hell of a man.
Price 750 ml/$69.95
