I took some liberty and replaced the nutmeg garnish with salt and pepper and I think that helped. The problem with this drink is that based on the ingredients you'd think it was savory but it's actually quite sweet. The falernum is nice but I think it should be countered with maybe some Worcester sauce and a dash of Tabasco in order to make it more savoury.

Don Q | JDT Velvet | Laphroiag... i like that im basically drinking a boozy egg but i want this to be less sweet with either more bite/attitude or more fat...

Sweet enough from just the falernum. I would maybe pull the Islay down to 5 ml to let the black pepper and bitter have some room to bite. I also used El Dorado 8 yo rum. Aged rum is a waste here. Pretty nice overall. (5 Jan 2024, 6:29a)
