Summerton Whisky Journal: Cocktails

We believe whisky is more than a drink – it’s an inspiration for flavour, creativity, and shared experiences.

Our Cocktails page is a celebration of both timeless traditions and modern mixology — where iconic serves meet bold new creations, all designed to highlight the versatility of whisky.

From reimagined classics that honour the spirit’s deep-rooted heritage, to inventive serves that push the boundaries of flavour, every recipe invites you to experience whisky in a new light. Whether you’re shaking up a smoky Old Fashioned, stirring a silky Rob Roy, or exploring something unexpected with citrus, spice, or seasonal twists, this is your place to discover and play.

We’ve left the choice of whisky open in most recipes — you know your palate best, and experimentation is half the fun. For a light and approachable base, try The Glasgow Distillery’s Original. If you’re seeking depth and smoke, The English Smokey makes a bold companion. And for rich, fruit-forward drinks, Arran Sherry Cask ‘The Bodega’ adds luscious complexity.

I have been a member for several years. An exceptional whisky every other month. Often uncommon whiskys you wouldn't find and a wide range of types. Usually I have been pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed them. Dan is a creative leader who creates a real feel of community. Thoroughly recommend it.

Continue to have an excellent experience. Every two months another full bottle of whisky. How Dan manages to source the quality he does at the excellent price point, I do not know. Definitely recommend anyone with an interest in whisky signs up. Even if your new to the spirit it will widen your horizons far more than a trip to your local supermarket.

This club is fantastic! The drams and bottles are always great, a little bit different (in a good way), and sourced from all over the world. The anticipation of the new club bottle is like being a kid on Christmas day all over again!

Fantastic subscription. Always interesting, great finds that I may not have known about, always delivered to the door with no fuss. Dan has built a great online community, offers great value with club bottle sales and his annual Summerton festival is really great fun. Hats off to Summerton for all they do.

I have been a member now for about 18 months and I have never been disappointed or dissatisfied, If you like whisky and trying ones that you don't find in supermarkets or even some whisky specialist shops then this is for you. You won't be disappointed either.
