Recipe contains the following allergens:
A Godfather based on peated scotch whisky in place of blended scotch and with a splash of sherry to accompany the amaretto in the classic recipe.
Created in April 2023 by yours truly using Caisteal Chamuis peated whisky which is named after Caisteal Chamuis (AKA Castle Camus) which was built on the east coast of Sleat, Isle of Skye by the MacLeod clan. A riff on the Godfather, this cocktail is named for these industrious builders and the MacDonald clan for which this castle became a stronghold.

The Scottish clans predate the band of slack-jawed, racist, inbred rednecks by more than a thousand years. I think that gives them ownership of the term ‘clansman’. On top of which, if someone does make an incorrect assumption and asks their barkeeper about the origin of the name, it makes a good talking point.
