Review:

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

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

We've now replaced the image above with crushed ice. Thanks again.

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.
