If you don't overdo it with the sparkling wine topper, all of the base flavors are remarkably apparent. Sort of like a carbonated sweet cider.

Very nice. A little on the smoky side, but not overwhelming. Honey and apple juice adds interesting sweetness to the Scotch.

Even though I used an affordable prosecco instead, it still tastes very luxurious. Nice bubbly cocktail.
