“Cocktail culture has continued to grow, yet we noticed that people weren’t choosing to mix Scotch whisky. We felt it was mostly because it looked too old fashioned to attract younger drinkers. It wasn’t inviting people to mix it. Upon trying a cocktail made with a smoky Scotch whisky, I had a eureka moment. Wee Smoky is a whisky for creators, for movers and shakers, for people that don’t like whisky — yet”, says Rory Gammell, Founder of Wee Smoky.
Available now for $79 at Liquorland, First Choice Liquor and Vintage Cellars, it’s time to grab a bottle and start experimenting with your favourite cocktail recipes. And don’t be surprised if you spot it at your go-to bar soon – it’s set to become the drink of choice for craft cocktail fans.
