Review

Smoky whisky-laced, rich, delicately herbal banana. Not as challenging as this drink sounds and considerably tastier.

Made this to Spec apart from swapping the 30ml of Speyside for Plantation Barbados Grand Reserve, and used Laphroaig 10yr for the Peat, what a stellar tiki drink, huge potential to play around with, looking forward to trying it again with some Speyside, maybe even a more rum forward variant with Agricole Volcanique.

Not sure if the image or the 'How to make' is wrong: it says crushed ice but image looks like on-the-rocks.

Your right. Should be over crushed ice. I'll make it again for Dan to reshoot ASAP. Thanks for bringing to my attention.

Made it with Macallan 15 & Laphroaig Quarter Cask. Tasty. Would like to try it again with the lemon juice reduced by 1 tsp. Would also like to A/B it against one made with Glenlivet.
