Comment:

A spirituous aperitif-style cocktail, or an after dinner sipper, which can be made with numerous different sweet vermouths or indeed a vermouth amaro as per our recipe. Equal parts produces a balanced drink but those after a more spirituous cocktail may want to up the Scotch a tad. Also consider using a single malt Scotch - your choice could dramatically change this drink's profile.
