Recipe

A timeless cocktail with a Skellig Six18 character. Our Small Batch Irish Whiskey brings notes of vanilla, caramel and soft orchard fruit to the classic combination of sugar and aromatic bitters, while fresh orange oils add a bright citrus lift. The result is a smooth, warming Old Fashioned with a gentle Atlantic influence and a long, satisfying finish..

Six18 Old Fashioned

Ingredients

    • 60ml Skellig Six18 Small Batch Irish Whiskey
    • 1 sugar cube or 7.5ml simple syrup
    • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
    • A few drops of water
    • Large block of ice
    • Fresh orange peel

Method

Place the sugar cube in a rocks glass and add the bitters and a few drops of water. Stir gently until the sugar begins to dissolve.

Add a large block of ice, then pour over the Skellig Six18 Small Batch Irish Whiskey. Stir for around 20 seconds until chilled and well balanced.

Express the oils from a fresh orange peel over the glass and use the peel to garnish.

Garnish

Fresh orange peel

The Perfect Serve

For the best experience, use a single large ice cube. It chills the cocktail while slowing dilution, allowing the whiskey’s character to remain at the heart of the drink.

Serve in a heavy-bottomed rocks glass and enjoy slowly.

Garnish

Add a sprig of thyme.
