Kingsbarns Journal

Scotch Whisky is for mixing. It’s been this way since Tommy Dewar and Alexander Walker blended Scotch for toddies and punches in the 19th century through to the first Golden Age of the Cocktail, when Jerry Thomas set it on fire and tossed it from pewter mug to pewter mug to make his infamous Blue Blazer. So it was during Prohibition when Scotch was taken from Campbeltown across the Atlantic, through Canada and into the speakeasies of Chicago and New York. Today, a huge quantity of Scotch Whisky is exported to East Asia. Often, yes, to be savoured and collected...

Happy Easter from everyone at Kingsbarns! Sarah (our Social Media and Content Assistant) was inspired to try a whisky and chocolate pairing this weekend, with the Edinburgh-based company Coco Chocolatiers.

Next up in our Meet the Team series, introducing Gregor Stirling, our European Regional Sales Manager.

This bittersweet cocktail is seriously simple to make for an absolutely delicious way to enjoy our award-winning single malt whisky. A great one to make at home this weekend and to enjoy once you're back at your favourite bars again.
