The olive is the best part. This drink is trash unless you use very distinctive brands of Scotch and rosso... I made this several times, and my favorite try was: 40 ml Laphroaig 10, 10 ml Amontillao sherry, 10 ml PX, 2 dashes Ango orange... Just upped the ante every stir and this is TOPS!

Excellent. Simple, balanced, wonderful flavours.

The olive seems an unusual garnish, but it works.
