What Will You Prefer This Winter: Whiskey or Rum?

    Share on

As the winter chills sets in, a comforting warm drink becomes the need of the hour. Whether it's sipping slowly by the bonfire or sharing drinks with friends during the festive season, the question arises whether you should reach for a glass of whiskey or rum to bring warmth to your winter nights? Let’s explore both!

 

In India, whisky has been the primary choice when it comes to stress or celebrations especially during these chilly months. The robust flavour of bourbon and rye are particularly satisfying. For something more refined, you can’t go wrong with a rich Scotch whisky (think of brands like Glenfiddich or Macallan), which brings layers of dried fruits and a smoky finish—perfect for warming up after a long day. 

 

Want to know the ways you can sip your drink other than taking it neat or on the rocks?

 

By adding honey, lemon, and hot water to your whisky you will make yourself a ‘Hot Toddy’ which would feel like you’ve wrapped yourself in a cozy shawl.

 

You can easily infuse whiskey with warming spices like cinnamon and cloves, making it a festive drink that fits right in at a Diwali or New Year’s celebration. 

 

Now, let’s come to Rum!

 

When it comes to rum, Indians have a soft spot for the drink. The sweetness and warmth rum provides make it a great choice for winter drinks. Dark rum is another spirit that pairs beautifully with winter flavours. The aging process in oak barrels gives dark rum its rich, molasses-like sweetness and deep caramel notes. 

 

Gosling's Black Seal or the luxurious Zacapa 23 are ideal for those who enjoy sipping on smooth, sweet drinks or mixing them into spiced cocktails. You can also pair rum with apple cider for a delicious drink that’s both sweet and spicy.

 

Tried spiced rum yet? Spiced rum brings all the flavours of the season: cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla into one bottle. It’s ideal for those who enjoy a drink that’s full of flavour and perfect for sipping at a gathering. 

 

Brands like Captain Morgan or Sailor Jerry offer spiced rums that combine the sweetness of rum with aromatic spices.

 

Here are some of the drinks that you can make:

 

Hot Spiced Rum Punch: Serve a spiced rum punch made with orange juice, cloves, and cinnamon at your next family gathering or house party. It’s sure to warm everyone up.

 

Warm Spiced Apple Cider: Add spiced rum to hot apple cider for a festive drink that’s the perfect balance of sweet and spicy.

 

Spiced Rum Eggnog: A warm, creamy eggnog spiced with rum is a comforting treat during the holidays. 

 

To choose between whisky or rum is like choosing between chai or coffee. Whether you choose whisky or rum, you're sure to create some cozy memories this season.
