Use a peaty Islay rather than a Speyside for this. Orange cognac liqueur didn't sound right so I went with the more lemony Ferrand Limited Edition Late Harvest Moroccan Yuzu Curacao. And it should be shaken, not stirred, to incorporate the freshly ground black pepper into the drink. The pepper complements the peat and teases your palate all the way down without overwhelming the drink. A good choice to commemorate the start of The Song of Fire & Ice.
