Spicebox Pumpkin Spiced Whisky is a fantastic sipper when the weather starts to cool, with vanilla and nutmeg flavours melding with pumpkin notes, atop a light and easy-drinking Canadian whisky. Our favourite recipe warms the whisky up, filling the kitchen with amazing scents of fresh baked pie and making us want to put on a warm sweater and snuggle up to the fire. Make this in a batch on the stove, or store it in an insulated flask, which makes serving larger groups a cinch whether you are entertaini­ng after an outdoor activity or at the start of a festive dinner party. Get a head start by mixing the ingredient­s in advance and simply warming them up when you are ready to serve.
