While being well established in the whisky world, with its ‘The Golden Dram’ nickname, Aberfeldy is also paving the way in its commitment to environmental sustainability. Through its annual Barrel & Bees programme, Aberfeldy unites local urban beekeepers with bartenders around the globe to raise awareness of the importance of the honey bee.
This year, the Barrels & Bees programme showcases honey laced cocktails from 80 leading bartenders across the country. For our cocktail of the week, Aberfeldy has created a serve that perfectly utilises local honey to highlight the whisky’s profile.
60ml ABERFELDY 12 Years Old
45ml lemon juice
30ml local honey syrup*
4-6 leaves of soft herb (for example basil or mint)
Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice. Shake thoroughly and pour into a small glass filled with ice. Garnish with you fresh herb of choice and enjoy!
*To make honey syrup, combine equal parts local honey and hot water and stir until honey dissolves
