It must be me as I found it quite sweet. I had a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Ruby in the kitchen (as you do!) and added 20ml which helped.

Wonderfully balanced, with a delicate nocello finish. Much depends in the Choice of scotch, I used Cutty Sark Prohibition. I might try some tweaking with bitters next time.

I feel like this a combination that Ive unconsciously been waiting to come along. The walnut and Benedictine are such natural pairings to scotch. Obviously the choice of scotch could radically affect the outcome. I had Glenmorangie and added an extra splash for booziness’ sake. Had enough bitterness to keep it interesting. Although not crazily complex as far as flavour matching is concerned, the opportunity for tinkering here is unmissable! 😉.

Lovely balance and surprisingly gentle for such a 'big' drink. Wary of dilution upsetting the harmony, we served it straight up in a Coupe glass.

Sophisticated grown-up beverage!

Added orange bitters (because my orange twist was lackluster) and it really pulled it all together.
