Ladies, it’s time to trade in your usual vodka soda and gin and tonic for something a little more adventurous. Enter Wee Smoky, the scotch whisky that’s rewriting all the rules and quickly becoming the must-have sip of summer.
Whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ, hitting up a beachside brunch, or just lounging poolside, this versatile and refreshingly light whisky is here to shake (and stir) things up.
What’s all the buzz about?
Wee Smoky has just hit Australian shelves, available in over 400 bottle shops and online (RRP $79). But here’s the thing: this isn’t your granddad’s whisky. In fact, it’s the complete opposite—designed specifically for cocktail lovers who never thought whisky could be their vibe.
Crafted in Scotland, Wee Smoky is made using corn for a slightly sweet flavour and aged in casks that once held smoky whisky. The result? A subtle smoky undertone and a smooth finish that pairs beautifully with just about anything. Think of it as a whisky with a modern twist—perfect for adventurous drinkers who love bold flavours without the heaviness.
Why are we obsessed?
Wee Smoky has earned its spot as the go-to for women who brunch, host dinner parties, and appreciate a great cocktail. It’s whisky for the gin and tonic crowd, the vodka soda girls, and anyone who wants a fresh, fun take on a timeless spirit. Plus, with its light and fruity profile, it’s endlessly mixable.
Fan-favorite serve? Pair it with Capi Grapefruit Soda for a light, zesty combo that’s tailor-made for Australia’s outdoor lifestyle. Or, if you’re feeling fancy, shake it into a smoky Whisky Sour. Either way, your tastebuds are in for a treat.
Since landing Down Under, Wee Smoky has quickly become a staple for summer gatherings. From poolside hangs to dinner party centrepieces, it’s the ultimate crowd-pleaser. The whisky’s mission, as co-founder Rory Gammell puts it, is simple: “Create a whisky for people who think they don’t like whisky.” And judging by the overwhelming response, Aussies are loving this fresh, modern take on scotch.
So, ready to swap out your vodka and soda for a Wee Smoky cocktail? This summer, it’s all about embracing your bold side—with a splash of smoke, of course.
