Wayne Gretzky Distillery Red Cask Whisky

Father’s Day Gift Ideas from Wayne Gretzky Distillery

Wayne Gretzky Estates opened three years ago in the heart of Niagara-on-the-Lake wine country in Ontario, but its wines and whiskeys are readily available at Liquor Stores across Canada. With Father’s Day just around the corner, here are three Wayne Gretzky Distillery Whiskies that’ll score brownie points with Dad.

Wayne Gretzky Distillery Ninety-Nine Proof

This premium, small-batch whisky is matured in oak barrels and finished in Cabernet Sauvignon wine casks for 99 days. Give the gift of legacy to your Great One this Father’s Day with this luxurious, showpiece Canadian blend.

How To Drink: Nobody messes with number 99. Serve this impressive blend to your Great One neat, or add a touch of water to release the whisky’s sweeter aromas. 

Suggested retail price: $99.99 for 750ml

Wayne Gretzky Distillery Ice Cask Whisky

Give the gift of a true Canadian classic. This golden-bronze whisky is smooth and robust with a hint of sweetness. Steeped in the Canadian tradition of Icewine making, it is matured in the Estates’ signature vidal Icewine casks to soak up the residual sweetness left behind from this special Canadian wine.

How To Drink: Best served on the rocks, or pop your bottle in the freezer to serve chilled. Pair with fresh fruit, or a piece of well-deserved Dad Day chocolate.  

Suggested retail price: $59.95 for 750ml
