📦 Ethan “Neat” Whitmore’s No-Fail Father’s Day Gift Guide

💥 Father’s Day Is NEXT Sunday – June 15

That’s right. The countdown is on.
You’ve got less than 10 days to find a gift that says:

• “Thanks for teaching me how to grill, patch drywall, and dodge emotional vulnerability.”

• Or, “Hey… I may not say it enough, but I see you.”

Either way, you’re here because neckties and “#1 Dad” mugs won’t cut it.
Whiskey will.

It’s part travelogue, part taste guide, and all heart.
And yes, I wrote it myself.

🎓 Big Lesson of the Week

Don’t wait. Great whiskey waits on no one.

Father’s Day is Sunday, June 15 — and whether you’re gifting or hinting, now’s the time.

🥂 Final Toast

To the dads who taught us how to ride, how to grill, and how to carry ourselves like we mean it — may your glass always be full and your burdens light.

🗣️ Repeatable Proverb

“A wise pour knows its moment — and Father’s Day is it.”
