Johnnie Walker double black. Wonderful combination of flavours. Intense and full of character, show casing the whiskey and the Nocello. Could do something super interesting with an Islay scotch. Or even something like the four pillars green ant gin. Your very good health!

I assume the title is a reference to Thorin Oakenshield in The Hobbit?

We do love these pared back, no-nonsense wee-small-hours sippers. Add a drop or two of Boker's or chocolate bitters if you're game.

Or some tawny port perhaps?

I'm too afraid to put that much saline in! Is it actually 2 dashes? Or should it be drops?

Thanks for bringing to my attention, Nicholas. Now corrected to show just 2 drops.

As a walnut lover, this is outstanding. Perfect as an after-dinner cocktail or evening sipper. Wonderful hints of the scotch and the walnut. The Cynar enhances the walnut flavours. Wonderful on a cold evening.

A bit less whiskey ands a bit more nocello and it reminds me of the woods on a wet day in Autumn. There’s a definite dankness to the flavours, in a bad way, tho if you were to I use a heavily peated Isla whisky it could be a bit much, like you’d stuck your face in some mushroom compost.... I can’t help wondering if and how I could use moss as a garnish.
