Ballantine’s 17 year old has both a richness and complex spicy notes, so naturally works fantastically well in a Sazerac-style smoky scotch on the rocks (with a twist) serve.

The Sazerac cocktail has its heritage in New Orleans, where French settlers mixed their traditional spirit (cognac) with the local spirit (rye), bitters and absinthe.
A scotch with a twist is traditionally a scotch whisky served with a citrus peel. Most use the rind of lemon or orange, but you can pick whichever fruit you fancy. Grapefruit, lime, clementines… if you like it, it works. We also add bitters and Absinthe to our Sazerac style scotch with a twist. Another twist, on the twist.
Every wondered how we make our Scotch whisky?
