History

We were introduced to the Mr. Burns by Richard Elgar, a fellow Discerning Drinker. Mr Charles Montgomery Burns is a character in The Simpsons television series, who is the wealthy owner of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant so Homer Simpson's boss. Mr Burns is depicted as being greedy, wicked, and villainous, and the character is famous for his catchphrase expression, "Excellent", muttered slowly in a sinister voice while steepling his fingers.

Review

A single malt whisky-based Bobby Burns, and all the more "excellent" for it.

A (pleasantly) boozier Bobby Burns, for when you feel inclined. Went lovely with a shortbread biscuit. Another excellent rendition of the Manhattan/Rob Roy theme.

Might be worth linking this to the main Bobby Burns recipe and calendar pages - I only discovered it via reader comments.

Excellent

What a great combination. Used a Glenlivet Single Malt aged in Rum barrels. This cocktail is flavourful, and perfect for the Nick and Nora glasses. Makes you feel you are having drinks in a 1940s movie. Cheers!

Felt a bit weird pouring a lovely 15yo into a mixing glass, but I have to say that is bloody nice, one might even say it is excellent.
