Looking for a cocktail that’s warm, aromatic and crafted with sustainability in mind?

Meet the Smoked Old Fashioned, made with Clan Colla Irish Whiskey from Ahascragh Distillery — Ireland’s first zero-emissions distillery — plus simple syrup, bitters and a touch of wood-chip smoke for depth and drama.

It’s a modern twist on a classic-leaning cocktail, proving you don’t need a big footprint for big flavor. Smooth, smoky and lower-impact from the very first pour.
