The UK countryside is some of the most stunning and peaceful places in the world and being British, this was a staple to our lifestyle back home.

This cocktail reminds me of my past with every sip having lived in a small village. Shrubs are a common thing in the countryside and blackberries are delicious and everywhere! Walking over fallen berries was the reason why I had chosen the Whiskey Smash as my template.

This British inspired Whiskey Smash works perfectly to showcase JW Black Label Scotch. This Whiskey is blended with 12-year-old whiskies from all 4 corners of Scotland, which leads to a smooth tasting whiskey with a rich character of dark fruits, hints of sweet vanilla and a nice smoky lingering finish! The blackberry in this drink adds a fruity note to a refreshing, yet smoky creation with the unique profile of the JW Black Label Scotch.
The perfect drink to showcase my past memory!
