Warm Whisky

I first came across Warm Whisky as a drink when living in Galway on the west coast of Ireland. Looking to warm up on typical Galway day (Grey sky, freezing cold with horizontal drizzle) we went to a pub and asked for a hot drink. They didn’t do coffee or tea but could make a hot whisky. After trying it once, it has stuck with us ever since.
