"Stirred down and boozy" as our good host says. And, admittedly, we went with a Bunnahabhain 57.1%ABV single malt. But slip slow laddie and lassie and the faeries of Italy, Spain, Scotland and the Spice Islands might dance in a ring around your brow.

A really extraordinary drink. I would perhaps knock back the amaro very slightly for my taste to reduce the sweetness, and fine stain - I used a grind from the Peppermill and had large grains wallowing around the glass.
Arrived at this recipe via the auchentoshan review, so stuck to the original expression. I’d be tempted to up the dry vermouth a fraction, but overall a fascinating drink, and one of the reasons I love cocktail culture is creativity like this!
