Tastes a lot better and more balanced than you'd expect with this amount of peated whisky.
In my experience the more expensive peated whiskies tends to not do so well in cocktails.
So for this, I used "For Peat's sake" which is heavy on the smoke, but fairly neutral otherwise 4,5.

I like a peated whisky but this didn’t quite work. I thought something was clashing with the whisky. I admit I did add a couple of drops of Absinthe (as Gabriel de Tuya’s suggestion) which did help 👍

Not being a fan of overly smoky Whisky, decided to try this one for the Highland Games which occur every last weekend of May. This was wonderful Perfect for before dinner. Liked as per the recipe, but did also try Gabriel de Tuya's recommendation for a little Absinthe. Did about 5 sprays and it was a different cocktail, but also very good.
