Review:

The original may have been equal parts gin, 30 Galliano and 30 Drambuie but Scotch whisky sits more harmoniously as the base spirit, so harmoniously that I've added a splash more of it.

Variant:

Golden Glow No.2

History:

Adapted from a recipe in Stanley M. Jones' 1977 Jones' Complete Barguide.
