Is your old man the life and soul of the party? If so, he’s sure to love this sparkling riff on a classic Old Fashioned, made with delicious Irish Glendalough Double Barrel whisky. Matured in a flame charred ex-bourbon barrel of American oak and finished in an Oloroso sherry cask from the small Spanish town of Montilla, this smooth and subtly-sweet spirit plays perfectly in a high-end mixed drink. With a little effervescence, this cocktail is a great way to kick-off a soiree. If you’re hosting a gathering in your dad’s honour, consider this your ‘welcome’ serve.
