Today we celebrate International Whisky Day – Will you join us?
March 27th is not just any date for us whisky lovers – it's International Whisky Day. A day dedicated to the golden drink, to the passion of distillers and to you who enjoy a good dram with depth, character and history.
But did you know that the day also has a special significance for the whisky world?
International Whisky Day was founded in 2008 to honor Michael Jackson – the legendary whiskey and beer writer who made a huge effort to spread awareness of whiskey in all its forms.
Since then, whisky enthusiasts around the world have used the day to celebrate their favourite bottles, discover new favourites and share the joy with others.
How to celebrate International Whisky Day
At Whiskystack.com, we believe that any excuse to pour a nice glass of whisky is a good excuse – and today it’s almost a must! Here are a few suggestions on how you can celebrate the day:
• Open a special bottle – perhaps a The Macallan, Stauning, Highland Park or something new and exciting from your collection.
• Share a dram with a friend – whisky just tastes better when enjoyed together.
• Try a new recipe – mix a classic whiskey sour or try a new cocktail recipe from our blog.
• Learn something new – read about a distillery you don’t know, or taste something outside your comfort zone.
And most importantly: Enjoy it with respect for the craftsmanship and the history behind it.
A tribute to the diversity of whisky
International Whisky Day is not about one type or one country – it is about the entire world of whisky. Scottish elegance, Irish smoothness, Japanese precision, American sweetness and Danish innovation from, for example, Stauning.
No matter what style you prefer, today is the day we all toast together.
