3 Fall Cocktails with Gibson's Finest Canadian Whisky

/

With the days growing shorter and the nights colder, there’s nothing quite like the inviting glow of a fire. Whether a fireplace at home, a fire pit in the backyard, or a bonfire outdoors, nothing marks the season of sweaters than joining friends and family to warmly embrace the changing seasons.

Served neat or in a mixed drink, Gibson’s Finest® is one for the ages. While Canadian whiskies are only required to be aged for three years, Gibson’s Finest® exceeds this requirement to achieve its refined flavour and distinct character. The Gibson’s Finest Canadian whisky range includes 4 variants: Gibson’s Finest® Sterling, Gibson’s Finest® Bold 8 Year Old, Gibson's Finest® Rare 12 Year Old, and Gibson’s Finest® Venerable 18 Year Old. Flavour profiles range from sweet and silky to vibrant with vanilla. All can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks or in a mixed drink.
