Slightly too sweet but you're definitely on to something. I love how the 15ml spirits play with the almond and the smoky scotch. It almost becomes something like a coffee toffee or something. It's honestly really cool. Next time I think I'll make it with 17.5ml Amaretto and 8ml smoky scotch just to dampen the sweetness a bit.

Liking my cocktails a little less sweet, I reduced the amount of Ameretto to the same as the bourbon, rye, and whisky.

Definitely my favorite Godfather variant! That said, I love smoky whiskies and for this one I used Ileach Cask strength (58% abv) with a degree of smokiness which makes Laphroaig seem like a mild mannered Irish in comparison ;)

This needs bitters to be an old fashioned! Its a fancy godfather otherwise. I added 2 dashes Chicory Pecan bitters from El Guapo in New Orleansto keep it nutty. I used L'orgeat, an almond liqueur from Brooklyn. Its got more of a roasted almond character than the bitter almond extract vibe I get from Amaretto. Its 20% abv and I kept the proportions the same. It was good but a bit sweet. I imagine it would be with most amaretto as well.

Is it extremely wanky to use 4 different whiskys in one drink? Yes. Is it really good? Also yes.

Thanks for the reply, not sure I understand can you clarify: once Madeira is opened you should keep it in the refrigerator or you should keep it at room temperature? There is a lot of conflicting information about this.

Madeira should be kept at room temperature and not in a refrigerator.

Do you prefer this or the madurised one better? I don't have Madeira not sure if its worth investing in a good bottle this drink seems similar enough but you rated the madurised one 5 stars. How much better is the madurised one compared to this one if at all?

Simon Difford Verified User Premium Member 3y

Yes, I prefer the Madurised one. It's worth investing in a great bottle of Madeira, if just to sip on. Even once opened, if stored away from sunlight and at room temperature (not cold), even once opened it will be good to drink for years. It doesn't suffer from oxygenisation like other wines.

I kept the Saliza but used Grants and Abrachan (Lidl own brand - don't judge....it's become my mid-week smoky go-to)
This 1:1:1 keeps the smoke interest but is rather more dry
