Our first cocktail is the Scotch Old-Fashioned, a Scotch whisky based Old Fashioned variation which can use any type of Scotch from blended to single malt. Being a Scotch-forward cocktail, I find it best to use a good single malt. It can easily show off the quality of a balanced single malt such as Lagavulin.
