In the kitchen

To dress up a meat dish, elevate a sauce or perfume a dessert, whisky lends itself well to many uses in recipes. Be sure to try the recipe in this video for Whisky-Flavoured Chocolate Mousse, a real favourite!

In a cocktail

The menus of bars and restaurants are increasingly featuring cocktails made with whisky. Here are two to try that will fully showcase the whiskies they're made with. A redo of the classic Whisky Sour and the trendy Whisky Lemonade. 

Whisky sour + Pike Creek 10 Years

Whisky limonade + Bulleit Frontier Bourbon

Another whisky to try in a cocktail: The Busker Triple Cask Triple Smooth.

To sip straight or on the rocks 

Jameson

If you don’t know where to start, we recommend easing into the world of whiskeys with an Irish whiskey marked with the taste tag LIGHT AND FLORAL, such as Jameson. This type of whiskey with accents of flowers and dried fruit has moderate woody notes that will appeal to new initiates 

Maker's Mark Bourbon

If you're looking for more intensity and seductive vanilla notes, choose a whisky from the MEDIUM-BODIED AND WOODY taste tag such as Maker's Mark, a must-have with accents of ripe red fruits, vanilla and cinnamon.
