When I've made this with Hayman's and Plymouth's Sloe Gins it was a solid five. Recently the best Sloe Gin I could find was Sipsmith. And for all thier talk about flavor variations from harvest years, the 2018 "special edition" was rather insipid in this cocktail. Maybe a dash of Cherry Heering would help.

Enjoyed very much. I am not a fan of too much smokey in my Scotch, and this one had just the right amount of smokey to other flavours. If you like the smokey more, I think Jon Pidwerbecki's suggestion may work well for you.

Tried as prescribed. Great. Dewars has a Smokey component. Sloe gin was a bit overpowering.
Built my own with 2 oz scotch and 1 oz sloe gin with same portion of prescription. Cleaner taste in my humble opinion
