Review:
Honey lifts and enhances this blend of Scotch whisky, single Islay malt and dry vermouth.
History:
Adapted by yours truly from a cocktail promoted in 2013 by Bols, the Dutch liqueur producer. Originally based on vodka with Bols honey liqueur, the honey cried out for blended Scotch whisky and then some Islay single malt.

I started with a quarter ounce of Islay, yeah it felt a bit mild, so I upped it to a 1/3oz of an ounce.
I also forgot to shake and ended up stirring instead—but turned out it’s not that unexciting because I can taste every ingredient’s flavors.
