Our amazing Under Canvas Bar Sponsor Tomatin Distillery has created a mouth-watering menu of whisky cocktails, served from their pop-up every Friday of the festival!
The team just couldn't resist any longer and had to try them out...

I like a peaty whisky so this was my kind of cocktail. It packs a refreshing fruity punch but doesn’t overwhelm or disguise the spirit’s flavour, so you still get a strong, medicinal taste that warms the cockles. Delicious and must surely count as one of your five a day. Four more please!
The "Under Canvas"
Tomatin 12 Year Old whisky, sweet vermouth and ginger beer, served over ice and garnished with a dehydrated orange slice.

I absolutely love that Tomatin have created us our very own festival cocktail! A mule-like drink with a lovely crisp flavour, it's a wee bit smoother than the others on the menu - making it the perfect gateway cocktail for beginner whisky drinkers like myself.
The "Cherry Blossom"
Tomatin Legacy whisky, cherry jam, coconut water and orange blossom, with a garnish of fresh cherry or thyme.

I usually drink my whisky as it comes so I wasn't expecting my favourite to be the sweetest on the menu! This cherry bomb is floral, flavourful and a wee bit sour. Perks you right up after work, ready for a session in the tent!
Thank you to Tomatin Distillery for supporting Under Canvas 2023 as Bar Sponsor, and for creating a delicious menu of whisky cocktails for our audiences to enjoy this summer.
