What’s the best whisky for a Whisky Smash?

There’s no right answer when it comes to the best whisky for a Whisky Smash. The choice is up to the maker. With that said, you can’t beat the golden smoothness of a single malt scotch. Our personal favorite for a Whisky Smash is The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve which blends creamy sweetness with complex fruity tones.

What’s the difference between a Whisky Sour and a Whisky Smash?

A Whisky Sour and Whisky Smash have similar ingredients but the end result is noticeably different. The Sour is shaken with egg white or aquafaba for a creamy, foam top. Whereas the Smash is served over ice and garnished with mint for a slightly lighter serve.
