Whiskey Cocktails

Whiskey is one of those unique drinks that denotes class and sophistication.  It’s historically been viewed as a gentleman’s drink sipped ‘neat’ in front of a fireplace or at a bar ‘on the rocks’.

As time has gone on classic cocktails such as the ‘Old Fashioned’, ‘Manhattan’ and ‘Whiskey Sour’ have become a must have at all bars and evolved into more sophisticated and sweeter cocktails such as Blackberry Smash and Bourbon Sweet Tea.

The great thing about whiskey cocktails is that unlike other spirits, within the ‘whiskey family’ you have American Whiskey (Bourbon), Canadian Whiskey, Single Malt Whiskey and probably the most varied and versatile of the whiskey family – blended whiskey. Depending on the occasion, whiskey cocktails can sipped at from a martini glass, or in a jug and shared with friends.

Whiskey cocktails have a place for whiskey enthusiasts and newbies alike.  For the newbies, they can be a subtle way to get introduced to the lovely world of whiskey – working your way through one country’s whiskey offering to another as you narrow down which whiskey family you like.  For whiskey enthusiasts, it can be what re-invigorates your passion for whiskey or what broadens ‘whiskey horizon’.
