Whisky Forum - Traditional whisky drinking v cocktail making - video online

Last month, Whyte and Mackay and Isle of Jura sent their master blender Richard Paterson to the Isle of Jura and Colin Field, Head barman at The Ritz Paris and World's Greatest Barman to chat whiskies and settle that most important of debates: should whisky be taken traditionally or should it be all mixed up as part of cocktails.

Richard, as you would expect, was pushing for traditional drinking methods while Colin was all about showing how the whisky could be used for cocktails.

Did either man manage to change the other's opinion? Find out tonight.

The final video will be released tonight at 7pm UK time at www.isleofjura.com/richardandcolin while a trailer video (complete with suitably appropriate trailer music) and further text details can be found at http://en.brinkwire.com/216

Thanks John, hadn't spotted that. It's not a live broadcast so it will be up on the site for a good while I would imagine.

An entertaining video but cant see myself addinng marmalade to a 16 year old Jura although i am sure it will be very nice especially if you have a sweet tooth.

Very odd behaviour the way he throws the whisky out of the glass across the room, what was the point in that Rolling Eyes

just very odd. I wouldnt add marmalade to a 16 year old malt not even a Jura.
