Simon does it again. Great balance of smoke, sweet and sour. The maple syrup is present but only in a supporting role.
Caol Ila 12, Monkey Shoulder, Sapjack bourbon barrel finished maple syrup.

What a delightful formula! I used Ardbeg Uigedal and Kirkland 15 yr sherry cask and it was sublime.

Made with JW Black and Ardbeg 10. The smoke is definitely present, but this is a very well balanced drink. The maple syrup as sweetener is an inspired touch too.

Used Laphroaig QC and Monkey Shoulder...
The taste as I expected, The delight as It should.

Super well balanced. I made this with 50/50 Kyro Smoked Rye and Basil Hayden Bourbon. It's a great balance of smoky and sweet.

Oh wow! Even as a peaty whisky fan, I was intimidated by the 30ml Ardbeg. I needn't have been. This is perfectly balanced!

Made this with Lagavulin 16 and Johnnie Walker Black. Delicious! Smoky, but well-balanced.

If you're like me and don't *love* peated whiskys then I recommend replacing 1.5cl with a non-peated one (so 4.5/1.5). Other than that, beautiful.

The only think I changed was how it's served. I opted for a chilled coupe, no ice, and no lemon twist
