Stalk&Barrel whisky cocktail ideas for winter entertaining

There’s nothing better than whisky on a cold evening, and Stalk&Barrel handcrafted Canadian whisky is a treat, especially in a fun twist on a classic cocktail.

The small-batch, single malt style whisky is Canadian-owned and operated, and they make a fantastic spirit that offers caramel apple aromas, with a creamy, vanilla and butterscotch flavour on the tongue, that finishes with a white pepper zing.

The great Canadian whisky is perfect neat or on the rocks, and it’s affordably priced in select liquor stores in Ontario, Newfoundland, and Labrador for $30.95.
