A slightly heavier pour of Scotch and sherry helped balance the sweetness and tone down the smokiness beautifully.

This will definitely go into my rotation! Excellent cocktail that (if balanced well) enhances the scotch. The mark of a true classic.

I also split the base between a blend (Monkey Shoulder) and peated blend (Peat Monster) because the Compass Box smokiness can be overpowering.

On my second round I upped the Nonino and Benedictine slightly. Don't do that. The recipe is well balanced as it is written, IMO.

Not bad at all. I had an overproof, very smokey Talisker so I split the whiskey base with a standard blended Scotch (Famous Grouse). You definitely taste the peated whiskey. A bit on the sweet side. Nice after dinner sipper.
