Wow! I am glad I made this. I soaked the oats for a week because I was just too busy to get to this. Used Benedictine as that is what I had as well as single malt. This is special and I look forward to sharing it with my friends. Thanks for highlighting this.

Great drink to showcase Scotch & Honey combo. I will definitely make this drink warm when the weather is getting cooler. It probably would replace spiked hot chocolate!

Fantastic drink. I hadn't made it much before because soaking oats was such a pfaff. Why didn't I think of using oat milk! I make it with just honey and whiskey and oat milk. Delicious post prandial drink.

I was skeptical due to the amaretto and Drambuie, but this recipe was surprisingly fantastic. I didn't have Drambuie, and Benedictine is my go-to sub, and that was great here. Bordering on astonished how well this turned out, but I should have suspected excellence from the very dialed-in specs.

If you remove the Drambuie and amaretto and replace that volume with more Scotch, it's almost as good, especially if you use a 3:2 mix of blended Scotch (I like Dewar's) and single malt (I used Highland Park 12 with the Dewar's).

Any suggestions for a coeliac-friendly version? I can't have oats.

You could try almond, macadamia or soy milk as an alternative. Each would impart their own flavour so wouldn't taste the same but could also be better. Such a change to this cocktail should also bring with it a new name as would no longer fit the Earl of Atholl story.

Weirdly delicious. Never even contemplated adding oatmeal water to a cocktail and I thought I didn’t care for the star anise flavor in drambuie… yet somehow, this combination is surprisingly tasty. If you’re curious, give it a try!

A great cocktail when winter is coming ! Nevertheless, I definitely prefer the oatmeal water version over this latest one with oat milk. Both texture and taste of oatmeal water give character.
Try it with heather honey too and you won't regret it (I hope so !). Heather combines very well with Drambuie in my opinion.
