Smoky island malts are tamed by the Christmas pudding flavours of pedro ximénez sherry with pastis, adding enlivening anise notes. To quote Ruby's menu...
I love this. Made it with Laphroaig because that felt closest to Talisker in my cabinet. Worth a try even if you don’t love the individual components but enjoy a complex and balanced drink. Obviously it’s got more savoury notes than many cocktails but if you like sherry and/or dirty martinis, give it a shot!
That... is unique! The smoke, brine, raisin, and delicate touch of anise. Not to mention the lemon accent. What a combo! That's definitely going into my stock rotation.
