Only had carpano for the red vermouth tonight, so added ones dash orange bitters to lighten it. Deep and intense flavours, like a Scottishv old fashioned, in full kilt and sash. One to savour.
Almost feels sacrilegious using Talisker in a cocktail but all my qualms went away pretty quickly after a few sips.
One you can really sit with and enjoy slowly.
tried with laphroaig cask strength. maybe too stinky, not sure it works with averna. the blander wheatier glenmo might be my preferred even though it's not a speyside
