Introducing Fraser and Thompson Whiskey, the brain child of Michael Bublé and Paul Circa. Michael, of course, a modern-era classic crooner with a cleaver wit and infectious silliness, and Paul, a superstar master distiller with a passion for all things creative. Together they are bringing the fun and approachability back to a world of whiskey that in some ways has gone off the rails into obscenely elite territories.
As a nod to the OG crooners, let’s enjoy this easy riff on the classic Rusty Nail. True fans know that each Rat Pack member had their own favorite cocktail, but as a group the consensus was that a Rusty Nail set the mood for a groovy gathering. And if Dino was serving them up, it had to be no frills, fast, and easy to prepare. Simply replace the Scotch with F&T Whiskey, and you have the perfect spirit-forward cocktail with a solid honey-laden vibe. Can you dig it? Yes, you can.
