Bénédictine and sweet vermouth add richness and herbal complexity to this scotch whisky highball

Used Sheildaig and Carpano Classico. This tasted like a poorly shelf-stable US import of a British ale. Sheildaig ain't great, but it works in some cocktails. I do see the potential for this, however. Johnnie Walker Black or a Monkey Shoulder would no dobut be an upgrade. I'll come back to this. I don't necessarily mind oxidized UK import ales.

This is an improvement of your typical highball.

Surprised to see the user rating was only 3/5 (before I gave it a 4.5/5). Very lovely drink. I used Johnnie Walker Double Black which is quite smokey. Would even be great with an Islay Scotch.

Had to double the recipe to fit my 12oz/36cl glass

Tasty when the ratio is just right, go easy on the soda and top up to taste. Nice afternoon sipper
