I made this with Johnny Walker Double Black. Very nice cocktail.

Good but wondering if Famous Grouse is better than the blended scotch i was using

Whisky forward from the start with a citrus tang and a slight tart finish.
Surprisingly not sweet.

Very interesting in a good way. Was not what I was expecting from the ingredients. Nicely dry with the flavour of the Scotch Whisky predominate. Lovely before dinner cocktail.
