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.

It’s a single banger. One note. But if you have a golden glow it’s a single feeling. Try 40:15:15:15. Add 1 shortbread cookie as a snack.

Kirkland Blended Scotch ... interesting combo of flavors and galliano always stands out. didnt care for it though. cloying. not much character other than the usual flavor bomb from galliano. might try with laphroiag or some scotch with more backbone

I enjoyed this, but it is very sweet even for my taste and I love sweet cocktails. It needs lots of ice to tone it down. I’d be tempted to lower the amounts of Drambuie and Galliano

This was really flat to me. The flavor is nice but very one-note, not something you feel compelled to go back to.
