Nick Offerman is a man of few words. Sometimes, silence says it all.

So when Offerman and his father Ric Offerman hung out recently in celebration of the upcoming Father's Day (Reminder: it's June 19), the two shared some essential father-son bonding time, as well as some great conversation.

Apparently, the silence runs in the family.

The silent clip is another installment of the My Tales of Whisky series, in collaboration with Lagavulin Whisky. Of course, Nick seems to be enjoying this dream job quite a bit, probably because he gets to sit around, fish and drink the whole time.

And this time was extra special, because Nick was able to hang out with his hero. 

"Working with my Dad (aka my hero) was a sincere honor and a treat - especially since all we had to do was go fishing," Offerman said about the experience. "And if people have enjoyed my stoic expressions, then I expect they’re about to have their hats fly off when they lay eyes on the face of the august edifice from whence I sprung."

The premise of the ad is, of course, centered around it being the perfect gift for dad.

Lagavulin: A gift for dad that says all you need to say.
