Why is it that Coke and peat goes so well together? I don't know, but I'm definitely here for it! I would maybe up the cherry liqueur to 1.5-2cl for that Cherry Cola taste, but overall I really like it.

Can’t taste the cherry at all.

This one isn't for everyone, and by the user rating it's obvious that a lot who shouldn't have tried it, have.. It's really self explanatory that you need to be able to appreciate peated whisky on its own, to enjoy a cocktail with this large an amount of it.

Thanks, Robert. Due to feedback I've reduced o a 4.5 star. As you say, many don't appreciate peated whisky.

I think it is okay, but definitely not a 5 star. I'm not really crazy about the scotch and cola combo, I like the bourbon/cola cocktails better. Using some Heering, bitters and saline is a nice idea.

I absolutely love this. Pimp my whisky and coke!

A little intense, but intriguing. A lemon twist balanced it a bit for my palate. Will also give it a go with the bourbon substitute. I like the touch of using a tankard glass, it adds to the tavern/navy feel. Say, wouldn't have peated whisky been a perfect navy or pirate beverage? Take a sip and it reminds you of the the 'ol solid ground! Not to mention the "seaside" notes commonly found in them.

Hi Simon. I’ve noticed a couple of new 5 Star rated cocktails recently but the overall number hasn’t gone up. Are you downgrading cocktails as you bring new in? Cheers.

Not deliberately. I'm constantly remaking and reassessing old cocktails. Also remaking many as we replace old photography.
