The global whisky boom of the last decade has brought a BOOM in innovations from whisky distillers. As we see age statements fall by the wayside we get new offerings that feature creative ways, such barrel finishing or barrel selection. One of these new innovations is The Glenlivet Founders Reserve.  Founders Reserve features a selective use of first fill American oak barrels that give the whiskey a hint of creamy sweetness perfect for bourbon drinkers. The bourbon notes from the first fill barrels make Founders Reserve a perfect fit for an Old-Fashioned…or Auld Fashion. Cheers!

Auld Fashion Recipe:
3 dashes Bitters
3 oz Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve
1 tsp Water
1 Sugar Cube

Muddle the bitters and water into the sugar cube using the back of a teaspoon. Almost fill the glass with ice and add the Scotch. Garnish with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry.
