Whiskey and Ice Cream Pairings that will Level Up Your Summer

Well, hello summer! As the heat of July sets in, it’s time to introduce a very special addition to your dessert repertoire. These whiskey and ice cream pairings are the perfect way to kick back and enjoy this summer!

Alberta Premium

This is the flavour of the prairies. A barrel-aged rye with the sweet hints of banana, toffee, and hot cinnamon spice. This pairs excellently with banana or butter pecan ice cream.

Canada Gold

A great Canadian rye with touches of oak and vanilla, this whiskey pairs perfectly with chocolate chip or cookie dough ice cream for a bit of extra sweetness. 

Forty Creek Copper Pot

This is a strong one! With an intense spicy flavour from extra oak aging, Forty Creek Copper Pot needs a vanilla to soften its edges, and let the whisky flavours shine. 

Forty Creek Spike Honey Spiced

This complex whiskey has a lot going on. Enjoy the flavours of honey, vanilla, cinnamon, caramel, dried apricot, banana peel, ginger and spicy rye. This whiskey needs a subtle partner to allow its intense flavours space to breathe. It goes perfectly with vanilla or chocolate ice cream. 

Black Velvet

Naturally, this smooth as silk rye pairs well with a red velvet ice cream for a luxurious treat. With a strong caramel and hints of toast, this pairing will have you coming back for seconds. 

Golden Wedding

This is a complex rye that takes you on a wonderful Sunday drive through ginger and butterscotch, vanilla and maple with a very smooth finish. Pairs just perfectly with maple ice cream, butterscotch or vanilla.
