If you like Scotch, you should try this extra malty dram. After all that stirring, you'll deserve one.

Comments & Discussion

Jeremy Harrold
The instructions are a bit of a puzzle.
The malt extract needs A Lot of stirring to dissolve. The drink has more depth than a simple syrup or demerara syrup old fashioned. The malt extract gives it more bonfire rather than caramel toffee flavours.
