Whisky Cocktails
Contrary to popular belief, the Scots did not invent whisky. The Irish, whose name for it means 'water of life' , took it with them, along with the Gaelic language, the kilt and the pipes, when they colonised what later became known as Scotland. Perhaps this is why Irish whiskey is considered more mellow than most blends of Scotch. Canadian whisky and the American bourbon are both corn-based; Scotch comes from malted cereals.
A selection of different whiskies is ideal, but not essential. Scotch can be used in place of bourbon. Canadian or Irish whiskey in cocktails calling for these spirits, although the taste will not be quite the same.
