Passport Blended Scotch Whisky

Passport Scotch is a beloved blended whisky created at the Glen Keith distillery in Speyside in the 1960s. Housed in its recognizable green rectangular bottle, it features sweet Speyside single malts balanced with light grain whiskies. It reveals fresh fruit, vanilla, and subtle cereal notes, making it an international favorite for lively highball cocktails.

This listing is for the 1.75 L size. At a 1-ounce cocktail measure, that volume provides approximately 59 pours before allowing for spills or a different recipe.

Start with a small neat pour, then add a few drops of water or a single ice cube to compare the two serves. Water and melting ice change the concentration of the spirit, so add them gradually. A large cube melts differently from crushed ice and gives you more time to follow the drink as it opens up. Choose the glass and serve that make the whiskey enjoyable for you.

For an Old Fashioned variation, combine 1 ounce of whiskey with 1 teaspoon of simple syrup and a dash or two of aromatic bitters. Stir with ice, then finish with an orange twist. Adjust the syrup only after tasting, particularly with a flavored expression. For a lighter highball, use chilled soda water and add it last. Measuring the ingredients makes it easier to repeat the version you like.
