Forget the egg whites. Just fine in the classic style of 2 oz total of the two split whiskies and 3/4 each Orgeat and Lemon Juice.

As others have mentioned, this is a nice drink, but kind of unremarkable? Everything just kind of blends together. It's smooth and tasty, but I feel like there are more interesting drinks one could make with similar ingredients?

Tried as per recipe. Looks really good with the foam!
Nothing special taste wise. I would recommend the Roman Twist cocktail instead.

Now I have tried just with scotch, no Irish, and I do like it better. A more interesting drink and the peatiness and almond meld well.

Made it Boston sour style with egg white. Nice and rounded with the orgeat. Like others I am not sure what mixing scotch and Irish brings, but a pleasant drink.

HOF 5/291. Wanted to step it up a bit and used Redbreast 12 and 3-1 Singleton 12 + Laphroaig Select. It's quite good, but it's nothing special.

Used Dewar's 12 and Bushmills. Came out balanced. with a predominance Whiskey flavour with just a slight hint of smoky from the Scotch Whisky. Found the lemon and orgeat blended with the Whiskies to give a faint apricot taste. Really liked it as an afternoon sipper or before dinner cocktail

I just made this twice, first time using Dewar's White Label, second time Ardbeg Wee Beastie. Clontart was the control. Two quite divergent flavor profiles. The Dewar's version was ok, but overpowered by the orgeat. And I'm not sure why one would blend blended Scotch and Irish whiskey. The Ardbeg, however, brought out much more flavor nuances, most notably conjuring roasty and nutty flavors from the orgeat... What is meant by 'Scotch' in 1930? I must investigate.

Tried this with Bruichladdich classic laddie Scotch and Blue Spot Irish Single Pot Still. Even though Blue Spot is one of the most flavourful Irish Whiskies I've every tasted I think it gets overpowered by the Scotch. I'm thinking that the 50/50 split, though convenient easy to remember, is probably not the best way of mixing different spirits. I'll have to try again some time with a different ratio.

You could use amaretto. You'll probably also need to add some sugar syrup to retain balance.
