Slightly fiddly but fun and very tasty. Chivas and a local raw honey were delicious. Have taken to shaking drinks such as this with a few large cubes only and seems to provide effective aeration without excessive dilution. Magic!

I used Frangelico instead of amaretto because I find Frangelico to be a more subtle nutty taste. I served it as (instead of) a pudding.

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.
