Review:
Stirred down and boozy, this Lowland single malt-based cocktail is sweetened and made very approachable by Pedro Ximénez sherry, and awakened by a pinch of cracked black pepper. A great late-night sipper.
History:
Adapted from a drink created in 2016 by Matthew Follent at Bar 1806, Melbourne, Australia, this was one of the drinks that contributed to his winning The Perfect Blend 2016 competition. His original recipe stipulates Auchentoshan Three Wood as the Lowland single malt.
