Speyside Old Fashioned

With the sun coming out, I thought it was time for a series of Single Malt Cocktails.
Number three in this series: Speyside Old Fashioned

Instead of using bourbon or rye, I'm using a very sweet Speyside whisky!

Ingredients:

• 6 cl of a single malt whisky, in this case: Benriach Original 10

• 2 cl Sugar syrup (Monin pure sugar cane)

• 2 big dashes of Angostura bitters

• A big block (in my case ball) of ice

• A very nice orange

Tools:

• Extra glass

• Cocktail stirrer

Instructions:

• Put the sugar syrup in a clean glass

• Add the Angostura bitters

• Stir until you get an even mix in color

• Add whisky, give a short stirr

• Use some orange peel to coat the rim of a new glass

• Place the block of ice with some orange peal in that glass

• (Twist the peel before placing it there)

• Pour the mix from the mixing glass, over the ice in the second

Enjoy!

My result

I like a good Old Fashioned. I truly do. Using a sweet en fruity Speyside whisky makes it even more perfect for a summer cocktail!
The bitters add to the fruitiness in a weird way, giving it a more tropical vibe then a normal Old Fashioned.

I think you should try it!
