Review:

Scotch whisky sits brilliantly with chocolate, in this cocktail with peach fruitiness. Despite the liqueurs in this cocktail, it's not a sweetie as it's dried by whisky.

I picked up the wrong liqueur and made with apricot brandy! Worked out okay which makes me think about substituting other fruit liqueurs.
