Nick Offerman shares a silent Father’s Day with his dad in this charming ad

Scoring Nick Offerman to be a spokesperson for your scotch whisky portfolio has the feel of both marketing coup and head-smackingly obvious marriage of convenience. His character on Parks And Recreation, Ron Swanson, is a noted fan of Lagavulin (inspired by Offerman’s own tastes), so it’s only natural that beverage multinational Diageo would secure Offerman’s talents for their My Tales Of Whisky series, letting the comedian play off his stern, whisky-loving persona in a series of videos, including last winter’s “Nick Offerman’s Yule Log.” Their latest, “Nick Offerman’s ‘Father’s Day’” features the comedian and his dad sharing an intimate, animated conversation over an afternoon of fishing.
