Buyer's guide

Whisky liqueurs are available through drinks specialists and online.

Preparation

Whisky liqueurs can be drunk over ice or neat as digestifs and are often used in cocktails – the Rusty Nail is the best known. They can also be used in sweet recipes, such as trifle, or to flavour the likes of Christmas cakes and fruitcakes.

Each whisky liqueur is made to its own recipe and varies in flavour profile and sweetness level. Generally, however, one can be substituted for another in cocktail and dessert recipes.
