Review

Honeyed herbal whisky liqueur with an apple brandy base, freshened with lemon juice and given a wisp of smokiness by a splash of Islay malt.

Intriguing. The Islay whisky elevates it from an honeyed apple cocktail to a drink with an edge. One to ponder as you drink.

Great cocktail. I did go with Tom W.'s suggestion and lessened the Islay. Great mixtures of flavours which all blend well.

I prefer slightly less Islay (5ml). It's still smoky, just gives a bit more space for the calvados.

Certainly benefits from adjusting according to how peaty your Islay is.
