Joburg East - June 2020

Gift ideas for dad this Fathers’ Day
All we really need to know about
Aviation Gin is that Ryan Reynolds
tasted it, loved it, and immediately
grabbed an ownership interest in it. And
if it’s good enough for this Hollywood
actor, writer, producer and mostswoonworthy-handsome-man-alive,
it’s good enough for us. Fortunately,
besides being hot and having a wicked
sense of humour, he’s also got good
taste. This Portland-distilled, American
craft gin is amazing ... subtle, smooth,
balanced, it can fly solo or take any
mixed drink to new heights.

Moving over to Italy, and to Mazzatti
Beer, which exemplifies the Italian
style of this top favourite tipple. A fullflavoured,
exceptionally-made, classic,
Italian beer brewed with pure, natural
water from the Alpine stream that runs
through Lagundo, it has no added
chemicals and has a natural, refreshing
taste. Details: trumanandorange.com
If your dad is strong and bold he’s a
banner man ... the one always chosen
for his ability to carry the banner and
inspire courage in those he leads.
Bannermans Red Seal is an incredibly
fine Scotch whisky ... smooth, rich,
sophisticated. Like dad!

Enjoy Don Papa Rum neat, on the
rocks or over one large ice cube.
Whichever you choose, you’ll find this
small batch, single island, premium
aged rum, smooth, delicate and
delicious! Made on the sugar island of
Negros Occidental in the Philippines,
and distilled from some of the finest
sugar cane in the world, it’s aged for
more than seven years in American
oak barrels in the foothills of Mount
Kanlaon, and is all vanilla, honey and
candied fruits.

Solving that ever-growing ‘what to drink
when you’re not drinking’ dilemma,

non-alcoholic spirit. Blended and
bottled in England, it has zero calories,
is sugar-free, and has no sweetener or
artificial ingredients. Try the new version
– Seedlip Grove – it’s zesty, citrusy and
is great with tonic and
a twist of orange peel
for a delicious nonalcoholic
drink. Details:

different design options ... so there’ll be
something exactly right for you.
