Power tools: Check. Time to consider the whiskey. Whether you’re looking for a gift that’s fit for a fancy party or one he can use every day, these products made from both the tasty liquid itself and reclaimed barrels from its aging process are sure to get more wound up than his purring lawnmower.This article originally appeared in Liquor.com.

If suit accoutrements aren’t your dad’s cup of tea, perhaps he’d prefer to sip his whiskey while sitting on a bench made from discarded bourbon barrels. These benches come in five sizes and can even be made custom to pair perfectly with your pop’s home bar. The maker, Jason Cohen Wood Artisans, even has a variety of other products made from old whiskey barrels. Buy it here.

A bottle of your Dad's favorite whiskey

While just about any gift that’s either do-it-yourself or made from recycled barrels will make dad happy, it’s hard to go wrong with a simple bottle. Whether he’s a fan of Scotch, bourbon or lesser appreciated whiskies like Canadian ryes or Japanese single malts, he’ll no doubt enjoy a day of sipping a hearty glass of the stuff with his kids.
