This Father’s Day, show Dad how much you appreciate him with a gift he can enjoy any time of the year – a refreshing bottle of his favorite spirits! The man you are celebrating on this holiday is special to you for many reasons so the gift should be as well.
Father’s Day is particularly special to Mijenta, as a company whose ethos is built around the idea of family and community — Mijenta is a variation of mi gente, meaning my people. The agave used to create Mijenta is harvested by jimadores such as Don Jose Amezola Garcia, a third-generation jimador, and his son, Jose Enrique Amezola. Don Jose learned the craft from his own father when he was 17 years old. After 25 years of harvesting, Don Jose dedicates himself mostly to the care of the agave fields, building on a vast knowledge of the location of the best parcels and giving the plants the care that they require. One of his six children, Jose Enrique, has taken on the family tradition. Mijenta is dedicated to supporting the father-son duo and ensuring the continuation of their craft.
For $118.98 (shipping included), customers will receive both expressions of the tequila and an exclusive invite to a live tasting with co-founder and awarded mixologist Juan Coronado and preeminent Maestra Tequilera Ana Maria Romero, streaming on Father’s Day at 5 pm ET. Gift dad with something he can savor and let Juan and Ana guide you through the perfect celebration. The specialty package can be purchased here.
If tequila is not his choice of drink, rum is always a great option too! With a diverse quartet of founders, Equiano Rum launched in the UK and the US this year, with plans to expand across the globe. The launch brought something completely unique & exciting to the category:
The liquid is a limited batch blend from one of the best-emerging distilleries in the world, Gray’s in Mauritius, and the world-renowned Barbadian distillery: Foursquare. The Equiano Rum Co. brought these two rum purists together to create a 100% natural rum, with no spices, no colorants, no additives, and no added sugar. Completely uncompromised, all the rich and deep flavors come from the ex-Cognac and ex-Bourbon casks that the rum tropically matures in, creating an exquisite, modern, and matured spirit that is totally unique.
