Kind of a Penicillin with a skosh of Daiquiri splashed in? The lime is present but not intrusive. I made this with Laphroaig Oak Select (not Islay-apex smoky). I love the Penicillin, but I'd be more than willing to make this again in the event I don't have any ginger syrup on hand and/or am too lazy to make it. I just ran out of that Laphroaig, but I'm now wondering if some ginger bitters would satisfy my inclinations... This is not a sweet drink though, so I doubt bitters would be appropriate.

I wish I could feel the brilliance. I made it with the original Scotch utilised, the Glenlivet 12. A strange mustiness (the malt probably) ruined the entire balance of the drink, with that being the starting point, rounded out by the much more pleasant honey and lime. Strange drink.

Hi Chris. Try now. I've subtly rebalanced and split the citrus between lime and lemon. I've rated 4.5/5.

@Simon Difford Tried it again with this new recipe. Much, much better. It makes more sense now. I think the lemon pairs better than the lime with the Speyside Single Malt.
