If you're new to the world of whisky, it can be a bit overwhelming - there are so many different types and brands out there. But don't worry, we're not talking about sipping whisky here, we're talking about using it as an ingredient in a cocktail. So, even if you're not a whisky connoisseur, you can still appreciate the difference a good whisky can make in an Old Fashioned.
For example, imagine you're making a big pot of chili - you want to use a good quality ground beef that's going to add flavor and texture to the dish. It's the same with an Old Fashioned - you want to use a good quality whisky that's going to add flavor and depth to the drink. And just like with the chili, the type of whisky you use can make or break the whole thing.
