Review

Smoky peated whisky combines with Irn-Bru to produce a refreshing drink that is far removed from what you might expect.

I know this from my Edinburgh days as the Iron Monkey, though the proportions are different, 1 part peated whiskey to 2 parts Irn-Bru (above it's 2.8). I like it 'monkey style' but I encourage people to experiment with the highball ratios and see which they enjoy the most!
