Review:

Originally designed to be served straight-up, but I prefer this punchy, Negroni-esque cocktail over ice, mellowed by a little additional dilution.

Interesting. I enjoy a heavily peated Scotch, usually neat or over a single rock. Green Chartreuse on it's own is harsh. I used sweeter Aperol. I don't hate it, not sure I could do more than one. I think a lighter Scotch or a blended might work better in this cocktail.

Waste of good ingridients. I was suspicious of mixing three strong flavours and unfortunately result was as horrible as I thought. Cough medicine.

Diluted the peaty with some blended as I couldn't see the need. So far (2 down) so good.

Contents of my cabinet required that I try this with something only lightly peaty. It registered as the following, in order of occurrence: intriguing, delicious, odd as hell.
