Top 5 Engraved Bourbon Gifts for Fathers Day 2025
If there’s one thing dads have plenty of, it’s ties. What they don’t have? A bottle of premium bourbon with their name engraved on the glass.
This Father’s Day, skip the usual and go for something memorable—something he’ll actually use and proudly keep long after it’s empty. Whether your dad’s a longtime bourbon fan or just enjoys a good pour now and then, a custom engraved bottle is a gift that stands out without trying too hard.
At EngraveVine, we specialize in personalized bourbon bottles that hit the sweet spot between thoughtful and impressive. Here are our top 5 picks for Father’s Day 2025:
1. Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon
For the dad who knows good bourbon when he tastes it.
Blanton’s doesn’t need much of an intro. Between the signature horse-and-jockey stopper and its smooth caramel, citrus, and spice profile, it’s basically a must-have for any serious bourbon shelf.
Why it works: The bottle is already iconic. Add a custom engraved message—something simple like “To the best dad” or an inside joke only the two of you would get—and suddenly it’s a family keepsake.

2. Elijah Craig Small Batch
Solid. Smooth. Unpretentious.
Elijah Craig Small Batch is one of those bottles that quietly wins people over. It’s rich and warm, with just enough oak and spice to keep things interesting. And at this price point, it’s an easy win.
Personalization idea: Try something short and timeless like “Happy Father’s Day 2025” or “Cheers, Dad.” It’s understated, just like the bourbon.

3. Woodford Reserve
A classic that never misses.
Woodford Reserve is a well-balanced bourbon with rich notes of dried fruit, vanilla, and a hint of spice—smooth enough for sipping, bold enough to make a statement. Its elegant bottle and wide glass surface make it ideal for engraving.
Pro move: Pair it with custom-engraved whiskey glasses or a humidor for a timeless gift that feels both personal and premium.

4. Maker’s Mark – with Wax Seal
Bold flavor, iconic look.
Few bottles are as instantly recognizable as Maker’s Mark, with its signature red wax dripping down the neck. The bottle itself feels classic, and engraving on it just works—especially in gold.
Insider tip: We offer a few wax color variations, so if red’s not his vibe, we might be able to switch it up.
