A peated whisky-forward Boulevardier served straight-up with mole bitters adding delicately spiced cacao notes. A deliciously bittersweet aperitivo or...
Made this one with Lagavulin 11 year sweet peat (though I do not like it straight, it can work in cocktails) and Glendronach on the spirit side, regular Angostura and a dash of Fee's walnut on the bitters side. Perhaps due to the sweeter aspect of the peated Scotch, it is more balanced than I expected. I'd maybe add a [little bit of a] more aggressive Islay into the mix next time.
That said, the smoke does come through and adds a nice edge to this Boulevardier riff. I think this would work nicely with a cigar.
