I liked Andre’s suggestion of Bowmore 12, only had 10mL left in the bottle so topped up with a full 30ml Dufftown Singleton, 30 Cardamaro and Cocchi vermouth Di Torino. Went with the usual Orange wheel garnish, but a sprig of lavender would have been nice too.
Had as an aperitif and it was perfect. Did find it a bit sweet for our tastes, so we added 3 drops of orange bitters (since the garnish was orange zest). Bitters lessened the sweetness. Both versions were wonderful.
