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!
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).
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.
