Can a single malt whisky ever be used in a cocktail or with a mixer? It is not a debate that I am going to try to solve today.
However, when Australian whisky company Starward launched a new whisky that it says is a single malt and perfect for creating cocktails I had to give it a go.
A whisky distilled in Melbourne is not really as outrageous as it sounds. The city is surrounded by some of Australia's best wine regions and has had a craft brewery scene that can hold its own against any major city in the world. So it was only a matter of time before somebody had the bright idea to create a Melbourne whisky.
