Honey lifts and enhances this blend of scotch, single Islay malt and dry vermouth.

Adapted by Simon Difford 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 scotch and then some Islay single malt. It's called the Amber Nectar after all.
