Had to use generic Scotch as I somehow misplaced a litre of Jim. Really quite good. Not at all too coffee-y. Will try again once I find that damn bourbon.

Sort of a psychotic Negroni...we can imagine an harassed journo sipping a few of these deep into the night while emptying a packet of cigarettes ahead of an early morning publishing deadline.
