Ingredients

• 60ml Amberfire Premium Malt Spirit

• 1 sugar cube (or 5ml simple syrup)

• 2–3 dashes Angostura bitters

• A few dashes of water

• Garnish: Orange twist

Method

Place the sugar cube in a rocks glass and add the bitters and a few drops of water. Muddle until the sugar dissolves, then add ice — ideally a large cube. Pour over 60ml of Amberfire Premium Malt Spirit and stir gently for 20–30 seconds. Express the oils from an orange twist over the drink and drop it in as a garnish.

This malt spirit old fashioned brings together tradition and innovation in one glass. Amberfire’s clean malt backbone, combined with subtle oak, spice, and vanilla notes, gives the drink rich complexity without the heaviness of a typical whisky.

Why the Malt Spirit Old Fashioned Works

The beauty of the malt spirit old fashioned lies in its elegant simplicity. Every element is there to enhance the spirit, not mask it. Amberfire Premium Malt Spirit has the character to stand out, but it's also refined enough to integrate beautifully with the bitters and sweetness. This cocktail is strong, flavourful, and endlessly sippable.

Whether you’re a seasoned cocktail drinker or just starting to explore malt-based spirits, the malt spirit old fashioned is a fantastic way to appreciate the depth and quality of Amberfire’s craftsmanship.
