With almost 130 years experience and having created one of the most iconic spirits in the world, Glenfiddich is undoubtedly one of the finest whiskeys a gentleman can drink. While we advocate that every gentleman enjoy a whiskey on the rocks, from time-to-time it’s also important that he knows how to put together an incredible Glenfiddich-based cocktail – and here the top five every gentleman should know.

The Pioneering Spirit

This delicious drink is the perfect balance of modern and traditional: the classic single malt Glenfiddich perfectly balances out the refreshing, sweet pear juice and agave nectar to make for a delicious whisky cocktail.

1 ½ parts Glenfiddich 12 Year Old

2 parts pear juice

½ part agave nectar

1 part lemon juice

Shake all ingredients on ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon peel.

The Sazerac

The Sazerac is one of the first cocktails in the history of this industry and takes us back to the 19th century. Whisky creates a mysterious taste along with aromatic bitters, a sugar cube, a sufficient amount of ice and absinthe to cover both the outside and inside of the glass.

1 sugar cube

60 ml single malt Glenfiddich

2 dashes of Peychaud’s bitters

1 barspoon Absinthe

Lemon peel

Royal Balmoral Punch

Although relatively complex in ingredients and probably an acquired taste, this cocktail is quintessentially British; it is, after all, named after the Royal Family’s Scottish summer home and combines fine single malt and good English tea.
