This year, it’s time for whisky to step into the spotlight as a spirit staple in your Summer cocktails.
Whiskies such as Glen Moray and Wee Smoky, with their bold characters and smooth finishes, make the perfect base for refreshing cocktails that elevate any Summer event. From an Old Fashioned to a fun twist on a Paloma, these whiskies add depth, complexity and amazing flavour to any Summer drink.
Why wait for Winter? It’s time to start enjoying whisky all year round:
This cheeky cocktail uses Glen Moray Sherry Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch, which has been matured in American oak casks in the traditional Speyside style, then finished in Oloroso sherry casks, sourced from Jerez in Spain to add notes of dried fruit, nuts and spice. This is a whisky to be savoured by both long-time single malt fans and new drinkers alike. It is available from Dan Murphy’s and BWS from $65 per bottle.
Extra dry Prosecco combines with Glen Moray Sherry Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch in this delightful Summer concoction that is perfect for any alfresco entertaining occasion, or simply because the sun is shining and you are thirsty!
Wee Smoky is smooth, fruity and just a wee bit smoky…making it ideal for mixing and taking to parties. Going against the grain of tradition giving it a new perfect serve, this is a whisky for creators, for movers and shakers and for people who don’t like whisky – YET! Wee Smoky is available at Liquorland, First Choice Liquor and Vintage Cellars from $70 per bottle.
Wee Smoky combines with lemon juice, sugar and mashed strawberries to tantalise Summer taste buds and tickle fancies as we soak up the social side of the season, celebrating with family and friends. Once you’ve had one, it will quickly become your go-to Summer drink of choice.
