Last-Minute Spirits Brands To Cop For Dad On Father’s Day

A running joke is that mothers get more love than fathers on their respective days. Contrary to popular belief people lay down dollars for Father’s Day. A reported $22.4 billion is expected to be dished out for dad, according to the National Retail Federation. While that is almost $11 billion lower than spending for Mother’s Day, it’s still a grip. Another gag is Father’s Day gifts usually fall in the category of last-minute gifts. That might be up for question, but BLACK ENTERPRISE identified five spirit brands to grab for dad if you didn’t cop him something ahead of time.
