Recommended whiskey
My favorite all around whiskey is Bulleit Bourbon Frontier Whiskey. It's smooth, dry, and not too sweet so it's great for old fashioneds or mixed cocktails.
"Some perfect whiskies for spring cocktails would be Old Forester bourbon, Knob Creek Single Barrel 9 year, High West Double Rye, Glenfiddich Fire & Cane, or Michter's American Whiskey would all be great choices." -Cocktail expert, Leah, from Gastronom Cocktails
