I wanted to but I found this drink hard to ‘really’ like. It didn’t quite come together. A second with pickled onions worked better but I think that’s just me!

Fantastic! I used talisker skye as my peat and no. 3 london dry gin. At first it was just smoke and wormwood but on the second sip the botanicals started coming through. Talisker is a bit on the milder side of smoke and its more maritime qualities sat well with the gin. The addition of bianco vermouth rounded it off. I second Jason's comment you need a gin with a strong presence to balance the peat. Unbelievable how such a small amount of peat can contribute so much.

This is outstanding. The first sip was a WOW. The martini has a perfect balance and the hint of peated Whisky. It is burst of flavours is unbelievable. On my favourites.
