Summer is the perfect time to take some new and classic spirits out for a spin. Mix up a creative cocktail with an on-trend flavoured spirit (everything from rum and tequila to vodka, liqueur and whisky), accented with some fresh fruit and/or herbs for an extra pop of deliciousness. There are also some luxe creamy liqueurs to sip and savour, featuring flavours such as coconut or dulce de lecce. Innovative cask finishes are in the spotlight too — why not set up a tasting flight with friends to explore the nuances of tequila aged in red wine barrels, oak-aged tequila that is charcoal filtered for extra smoothness and clarity, or a new release of a single malt that’s finished in rum barrels sourced from the Caribbean? This summer, try some exciting and innovative new spirits or check out a twist on a well-loved favourite. Cheers to a spirited summer!
