History

Originally made with the eponymous whisky, this classic first appears in William James "Billy" Tarling's 1937 Café Royal Cocktail Book, which specifies it should be shaken rather than stirred. Originally created by one "E. Goodall", this cocktail was kindly brought to our attention by J. E. Clapham of Clapham Cocktails and we've used his adaptation of the original recipe.

Nice, made it with Bell’s Finest blended Scotch.

Famous Grouse and Boissiere dry vermouth seemed to play well, along with the Benedictine. Might try it on the rocks next time, or shake instead of stirring. Good after dinner.

Johnnie Walker Black + Dolin Dry seem to work well. Good balance of smoke, sweet, honey, herbal, and spice! Great option for a nightcap, especially during autumn/winter!

Good with a slight smokey flavour. Great evening drink. Enjoyed this very much.
