History

Created in 2013 by Jacob Briars at Aberfeldy Distillery during a tasting session, this is a Dewar's whisky twist on the on the Bramble, hence the name Dramble. The name is also fitting as Tommy Dewar, one of the two brothers who built the Aberfeldy Distillery and the Dewar's whisky brand, being known for his Ramble Round the Globe book, so there's a pun at play there too.

Review

Basically, a whisky sour served over crushed ice with a dash of rich crème de mûre. For whisky drinkers this Scotch whisky riff on Dick Bradsell's classic Bramble is even better than the original gin based cocktail.

A fantastic variation of a Bramble. One to give to people not convinced by the idea of Scotch Cocktails.

Not being a great fan of layered/ fragmented cocktails, I followed Calvin's inspired suggestion of a Negroni-style serve. The JW Black Label and Sisca (Lejay as-was) crème de mûre were given equal weight and the fruity result was perfect for an early summer afternoon. One for Blood and Sand lovers.

Poured all the ingredients over ice, stirred, drank, like you would a negroni. Exceptional! A new favorite. Sidetrack Distillery's Blackberry Liqueur produced more of a six than a four on the sweetness/dry/sour scale IMO.
