The elderflower liqueur really plays well with the scotch, however it does not sweeten the drink much at all - it still has the flavor profile of a highball, which is IMO a good thing.

There's actually a terrific ratio here between the Scotch and elderflower. Jusy sorely missing acidity and/or sweetness, in small measures.
