Scotch Adonis
Some Scotch whiskies benefit from the influence of maturation in sherry wine-infused casks. However, this cocktail amplifies the fortified wine influence...

Lots of play with sherry cocktails this evening, and this was definitely a favourite, bearing in mind I'm a huge scotch fan. Reminiscent of an Affinity, but with the wonderful nutty and woody notes of the sherry lingering, blending perfectly harmoniously with the scotch. I found the 15ml dilution slightly excessive, prob 10nl enough for me, a minor quibble for course.

Monkey shoulder, Lustau oloroso, and Cocchi vermouth di Torino.

Tried this with many reservations as not a fan of Sherry or Vermouth as a major flavour to a cocktail. What a perfectly balanced drink. Does benefit with a short rest for the cocktail to breathe. If you are a fan of Sherry or Vermouth this is perfect for you.

I served it in a cocktail glass (similar to Rob Roy) and it was great with Famuse Grouse.

Wasn't sure about the sherry, as I only had fino, but this worked out fine. Very easy to drink.

I was tempted to mess with the ratio of scotch to the other ingredients, but this is a very balanced drink. Not as boozy as one would think.
