UPDATE (3/1/13) We have just learned that the Pappy VanWinkle’s Father’s Day dinner is sold out.

Dads can be notoriously hard to shop for; even still, it’s doubtful you’ve already started hunting for that perfect Father’s Day gift—in February. But if Dad’s a bourbon drinker, you can go ahead and lockup Kid of the Year by scoring him a ticket to Pappy VanWinkle’s Father’s Day dinner at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort (June 14). The evening includes a private distillery tour, dinner, and tasting, where you’ll be able to sample various ages of VanWinkle bourbons, will be personally led by Julian and Preston VanWinkle. At only $65 a pop, tickets go on sale TONIGHT at midnight and are bound to sell out. Reserve yours here. (Mom's welcome too.)
