Cocktail Hour: An Old Fashioned Redhead
Posted by Arctic Wolf on June 13, 2017
Today’s mixed drink shakes up the classic Old Fashioned Cocktail. My inspiration for the libation is Red Head Single Malt Irish Whiskey a new triple distilled Single Malt from Ireland’s Walsh Whiskey Distillery. The single malt spirit was aged in hand selected Oloroso Sherry butts which infused their rich fruity flavours (think raisins, figs and dates) into the rich nutty flavour (think barley grain) of Writer’s Tears Irish Whiskey.
My new libation uses Cran-Raspberry syrup to enhance the rich fruity sherry cask flavours of the Irish Tears Red Head Irish Whiskey (yumm).
Let me introduce An Old Fashioned Red Head:
