Review:

A refreshing Scotch and port wine nightcap, or perhaps a citrusy whisky aperitif. The Scotch and orange combo puts this drink in the same camp as the classic Blood & Sand.

Really nice nightcap. The Scotch, Port and orange go much better together than I expected. I do think any smoky whisky will detract from this drink, however.
