There just something about the crisp fall air that makes me crave a nice whisky cocktail. That sweet brown elixir seems to be the perfect way to take the slight chill off the season and warm you from the inside. Sure, I like my whisky on the rocks or straight up. But I actually don’t think there is anything sacrilege about using a really good whisky in a cocktail. After all why use a mediocre one? It will just make a mediocre cocktail…. I discovered The Blacksmith while experimenting with a bottle of whisky from Forty Creek and instantly feel for him. The blacksmith is a little bit sweet and a little bit spicy without hiding the great whisky flavour.
