I don't know what the positive reviewers are hard at work tasting. I was hoping for some surprising alchemy here. Death & Taxes did not surprise or deliver. Next time, I'll try it with more gin and less scotch.

This was excellent. Perfect for an aperitif. Used Dewar's 12 and St. George (California) dry rye gin (90 proof). Everything works perfectly together to produce a flvourful and spirited cocktail.

I made this yesterday. I wanted a bit more "pop" so I used cask strength Aberlour single malt and London Dry Beefeater as the split base. Absolutely fabulous cocktail! Right up there with my another scotch favorite, the Drunk Uncle.
I'll certainly try this again using the Dewar's 12 (the new expression is marvelous) and Monkey 47 as suggested. I think this cocktail has a real promise to be "dialed in" by the use of different whisky and gin profiles.
Bravo!

When I looked at the ingredients, I had some misgivings, but this is absolutely delicious - so much more than the sum of its parts. Now I can view both death and taxes in a much more positive light!
