Celebrate International Coffee Day with your favourite whiskey cocktails!
On International Coffee Day, people from all over the world celebrate the beverage that they have come to love and cherish for thousands of years. Coffee has been one of the most integral part of our daily lives, and the fragrance of roasted coffee beans have the ability to entice just about anyone. As we gear up to pay homage and commemorate International
Coffee Day this October 1, The Whiskypedia cannot help but think of ways to combine our love for coffee and whiskey together. The more we thought about it, the more it made sense. It was the perfect idea, and since we are celebrating International Coffee Day with our favourite whiskey cocktails, how could we not share it with our readers. Whiskey feels otherworldly when you put it together with the magic of a freshly made espresso shot, and today is the perfect day to do it.
Here are our favourite whiskey cocktail recipes made with coffee to help you enjoy your cuppa with a twist this International Coffee Day. Our first recipe is the most memorable conflation of coffee and whiskey ever created;

Call of Hebrides: Discovering Bruichladdich
Could it ever be that a young and wandering Bacchus trod upon the Scottish isles of Islay and fell in love, blessing it with gurgling streams and vast green meadows that’d bear greatest of Scottish distilleries that ever were? Bacchus may have taken a break from his love of vines and indulged himself in the resplendent warmth of uisga beatha, but Islay sure is blessed. Of the many distilleries strewn on the isles, Bruichladdich Distillery stands a testimony to the changing colours of time, as layers upon layers of stories settle on its ageing walls.
