If there was ever a time to break out “the good stuff” it’s during the holidays – especially after the rollercoaster of a year we’ve had.
For the whisky loving set, this may mean cracking open a bottle of Glenfiddich.
While the award-winning single malt Scotch whisky is often enjoyed on its own (neat or on the rocks), it also makes a great base for cocktails. Mix one up to entertain the members of your bubble (depending on the restrictions in your home area) or sip on yourself and share a virtual toast with loved ones this Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
