The Symphony
A boozy riff on the Last Word made more interesting by subtle notes of peated Islay whisky

I think either one isn't enough on their own, but I think both of them together - a rinse of the glass and 5 ml in the shaker - is perfect. It's still subtle - just a hint of peat and smoke - but keeps it from getting lost in the other strong flavours.
