Very, very savoury Flip. Kind of breakfast-y in a weird way.

The peated scotch didn't play very well with the other ingredients but liked the concept overall. I especially enjoyed the black pepper, it has such a nice undertone and would like to try some other drinks with it.

Quite balanced and smooth. It has a richer flavor than the Death Flip which I found a bit lacking. I'll admit I didn't have Torabhaig so I used Lagavulin, and now I'll most likely continue with that.

I took some liberty and replaced the nutmeg garnish with salt and pepper and I think that helped. The problem with this drink is that based on the ingredients you'd think it was savory but it's actually quite sweet. The falernum is nice but I think it should be countered with maybe some Worcester sauce and a dash of Tabasco in order to make it more savoury.

Sweet enough from just the falernum. I would maybe pull the Islay down to 5 ml to let the black pepper and bitter have some room to bite. I also used El Dorado 8 yo rum. Aged rum is a waste here. Pretty nice overall. (5 Jan 2024, 6:29a)
