Review

Smoky Islay malt adds a distinctive aroma and flavour to this appropriately named cocktail with cherry fruitiness and smoothing egg yolk.

Chris Dimal
Very intriguing cocktail. The smoke definitely comes through but the malt and cherry are good with each other, along with the richness of the egg yolk.

Did this as a cocktail of the day, very surprised by how much we liked it (whiskey is not our usual base). Did drop the sugar syrup by half as we tend to like our cocktails on the less sweet side.

Absolutely delicious although I will omit or at least diminish sugar syrup next time. Islay whisky and cherry liqueur combine so well. A great comforting cocktail, tasty and unusual as commented by a discerning anonymous drinker ?

Very nice. The peated whisky was just enough to be present but not stealing the show. Whisky and cherry pudding ?

Fruity, yet balanced and well-weighted with just enough spirituous bite. Rum acts as a base while gin lightens and lifts.
