G.O.A.T.

Imagine it's the night before Christmas and you are searching for the perfect cocktail to watch Santa tip through the night sky. You reach for a bottle of Glen Saanich Single Malt Whiskey and crack the cap. You are greeted with bright citrus, sea air and ripe pears. Your brain starts to kick into high gear as you think of the endless possibilities. I chose to go with subtle spice from the cardamaro and reinforcing the sea air with imperative vermouth that delicately touches your senses. Let this be your one gift to yourself this holiday season. Cheers.⁠
