Andrea created this drink "for enjoying the flavour of smoky whisky with calvados adding to apple fruitiness." The amount of Peychaud's used makes or breaks...

Tried this with laphroaig 10 and a bit less vanilla syrup. Tastes like scotch diluted with sugary water. The color is nice though

Even the missus loved this one and she hates peated whiskey with a passion ^^;

I made this with Lagavulin 16 and Avallen Calvados. I feel like the Lagavulin was a little overpowering? Might try adjusting it down and the Calvados up next time to try for a better balance. Still tasty, though. Also curious to try this with Laphroaig 10 like the original spec.

2 years later, maybe, but I want to second what Jeremy Harrold says. Don't be put off, give it a go! This was a pleasant surprise. I always make my own apple juice, so I'm sure flavours will vary depending on the apple varieties at hand, but I was also delighted by an unexpected "honey" element to this one; sweet, but definitely staying on the good side of sweet.

A scary list of strong flavours which may put off the timid bit don’t be scared, it works wonderfully well. Apple with a mellowed peated smoke and that touch of aniseed and smooth vanilla. Give it a go!
