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.

Nicely balanced. Lovely. You do need an assertive gin to stand its ground with the Islay.

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.
