Glass

1 each Old fashioned glass (or rocks glass)1 each Large ice cube or 3–4 large ice cubes

Spirits & Garnish

1/4 cup (60 ml) The Glenlivet 12 Year single malt Scotch whisky1 each Orange peel (for express oils and garnish)

Method

Glass

Select a chilled old fashioned (rocks) glass. If you prefer your whisky slightly chilled, place glass in freezer for 5–10 minutes ahead of service.

Add a single large ice cube or 3–4 large ice cubes to the glass. Large cubes melt slower, preserving flavor while cooling gently.

Serve

Measure and pour

Measure 60 ml of The Glenlivet 12 Year and pour it gently over the ice in the prepared glass.

Express and garnish

Hold an orange peel skin-side toward the whisky about 6–8 cm above the glass. Give the peel a firm twist to express the citrus oils over the surface of the whisky, then run the peel around the rim and drop it into the glass as a garnish.

Present immediately. Sip neat from the glass to enjoy the aromas and flavors: green apple, citrus, light vanilla and honey. Optionally serve with a small water carafe (a few drops to a teaspoon) on the side so the guest can add water to taste.
