Tarquin’s Cornish Dry Gin

This well-balanced gin, produced on the South West coast, is a great example of the fantastic regional spirits being made across the country right now. With all the classic botanicals coming through on both the nose and the palate, juniper is prevalent (as it should be) and it has a hint of lemony coriander which reminds us of a deep pine forest on a hot summer walk.

White Mausu chilli oils

• Available from White Mausu, from £36 for 6 jars

If dad is a condiment king, he’ll love these chilli oils from Irish brand White Mausu. Their peanut rãyu, inspired by the taberu rãyu (chilli oil) you find on almost every table in Japan’s cafés, restaurants and homes, is a mild, nutty chilli oil packed with peanuts, sesame seeds, tamari and garlic. The black bean rayu is a spicier, more intensely salty umami flavour bomb, made with Chinese black beans, sesame, chilli flakes, garlic and more. We can’t get enough of them drizzled over noodle and rice dishes, eggs, grilled broccoli or steamed Asian greens, or mixed with soy sauce and a splash of black vinegar to make a sauce for dumplings.
