What’s on the Menu: Single Malt vs. Blended Scotch
Scotch has long been celebrated for its complexity and heritage, with endless flavor variations depending on how it’s made. This month’s Art of the Cocktail class will take a closer look at two main categories: Single Malt and Blended Scotch. What’s the difference, and how do they influence the flavor of a cocktail? You’ll explore these questions hands-on with our expert mixologists guiding you through each cocktail.
We’ll be featuring some of the most respected Scotch brands, including:
Famous Grouse Blended: Known for its smooth profile, this Scotch is a versatile base for cocktails.
Highland Park Single Malt: With a rich, smoky character, Highland Park brings complexity and depth to any drink.
Glenrothes Single Malt: Famous for its delicate fruity notes, Glenrothes adds a light, nuanced profile to the cocktails.
Each of these whiskies offers something unique, and by the end of the evening, you’ll know exactly when to reach for a single malt versus a blended Scotch in your own cocktail creations.
