The Dandy (by Iain Meldrum)
Dry and slightly on the bitter side of bittersweet, single malt scotch, gentian liqueur and dry vermouth sit well together in this appealing aperitif-style...

I made this with Talisker 10 and my lord is Islay scotch and Suze a great combo. They perfectly complement each other. The bianco is a bit distracting, though, so I might try it with dry vermouth next.

I didn't love this drink, unfortunately. I agree that it is well balanced, and that the saline is essential. My issue is mostly that I don't think this particular combination of flavors works that well, at least for my palate.

I honestly wasn't sure about this one and I was really happy with how balanced it is - I feel like that saline is especially important here. Will try splitting bianco and dry vermouth next time

Way too bitter for me. Perhaps it should be blanc vermouth instead not dry?

Agreed! I've switched to bianco vermouth. Many thanks.

I feared the mild Speyburn would be overwhelmed here but it still shone through. Noilly and Suze play well together too.
I wish I had some rye whiskey to try too.

Surprisingly sublte. The ingredients work very nicely together.

Agreed. Never gone in for any riffs on the White Negroni as Suze just dominates. But this really works.
