Scotland is known for its highland hills, clear lochs and its whisky! The Rare Malt Whisky Company have a selection of Scotland’s best rare and vintage malt whiskies. They have come up with a selection of ideas of whiskey cocktails to impress your loved ones. All cocktails are inspired by Scotland, using a range of Scottish Rare Malt Whiskies. Traditional whisky is drunk in a short glass on the rocks (on ice) however in modern times we thought we’d give whisky a twist (and that doesn’t mean a twist of orange peel).
