250TH ANNIVERSARY RELEASE WHISKEY
LITCHFIELD DISTILLERY, $64.95
For a Father’s Day gift with character, Litchfield Distillery’s limited 6-Year Corn Whiskey arrives just in time for America’s 250th anniversary. Distilled from 100% Connecticut-grown corn and aged in charred oak, it’s smooth and golden with notes of sweet corn, toasted vanilla, and a hint of spice. In other words: a bottle that tastes thoughtful.
NUMBER ONE DAD TOILETRY BAG ($155) & DAD KEY FOB ($35)
FROM DARIEN SPORT SHOP

HAMMER & NAILS GIFT CARD, DARIEN
STARTING FROM $60
Skip the tired tie this year and give dad a well- deserved upgrade. Hammer & Nails Darien delivers a no-nonsense premium grooming experience with precision haircuts, beard detailing, straight-razor shaves, and maintenance that actually matters. It’s the kind of upkeep that leaves him looking dialed in, tuned-up and ready to go.
KANE FOOTWEAR, REVIVE ($80)
Available at ATHLETIC SHOE FACTORY, CT RUN CO.,
DARIEN SPORT SHOP & MOUNT KISCO SPORTS
For the dad who treats recovery like a sport, the cult- favorite KANE Revive delivers. Shaped by the needs of athletes at the highest level, and built to handle everything from post-workout lounging to impromptu poolside laps to weekends on the sidelines, they’re cushioned, supportive, and blissfully low-maintenance. It’s the pair he’ll reach for daily.
PORTO LINEN COTTON SWEATER IN DRIFTWOOD
from RIVAY in BEDFORD, $628
Not every sweater belongs in warm weather, but the Porto makes a convincing argument. Knit from an airy Italian linen-cotton blend with a subtly textured, marled finish, it strikes that rare balance between breathable and put-together. Somewhere between a sweater and a polo, it’s the kind of piece he’ll throw on without a second thought all spring and well into summer.

MANFREDI, NEW CANAAN
Whether he’s a watch enthusiast or just appreciates a polished wrist, Manfredi has Father’s Day covered with TUDOR watches. The Black Bay 58 is the insider favorite: sleeker, slimmer, and quietly flexing serious horological credibility. The Tudor Royal leans sport-chic with a refined edge. Different vibes, same outcome: dad looks very well put together.
MINDSET DUFFEL
RHONE, $178
For the dad who’s always on the move, the Mindset Duffel is a reliable travel companion that doesn’t miss a beat. Thoughtfully crafted with a water-resistant exterior and secure compartments, it keeps essentials protected and organized. Perfect for wherever dad is headed!

NEW CANAAN MUSIC
PICTURED: MARTIN CUSTOM SHOP NCM OM-18 SINKER MAHOGANY $7270
An exceptional dad deserves an exceptional guitar. Even amongst Martin Custom Shop’s renowned offering of fine guitars, this is a next- level instrument. The hand-selected Adirondack spruce top, paired with sinker mahogany back and sides gives this guitar a dry, woody voice with strong fundamentals, quick response, and excellent clarity. It has that opened up, broken-in character you expect from a great OM, with plenty of headroom and articulation and bass response that makes it the perfect gift for everyone’s favorite guy!
TICKETS TO HUDSON RIVER MUSIC FESTIVAL
