Shaded Whisky Fizz Cocktail

A dimly-lit room putting you in a relaxed state, the warm tobacco-filled air and smooth leather chair are just some of what you could be experiencing while indulging in this Shaded Whisky Cocktail.

The word Whisky can be spelled in two different ways, Whisky without an E and Whiskey with an E. This spelling tells you what country it was produced in.

Whisky without an E lets you know that it’s from Scotland or Canada and Whiskey with an E lets you know it’s from Ireland or America.
