This was definitely not what I was expecting. It is a very well rounded cocktail. Perfect for sipping or at dinner. We had with a Peppered Salmon dinner with a Whisky Cream sauce and it went perfectly. So glad we opted for this with our Burns Night supper.

When winter is coming...
I added 1/6 shot of Islay whisky, just to make sure about the peat...
This cocktail is strong but not brutal at all. I would even say comforting.

I feel like I've had this or something similar before. The pepper seems to compliment the blend of Scotch while the orange provides a perfect accent up top. I think this could be too heavy(?) if the aromatized wines weren't included. Great recipe. (16 May 2023, 11:27a)
