Smoke of Scotland
Smoky, with floral and tropical fruit notes from the elderflower liqueur and added complexity from the vermouth and Cynar

I like a peated whisky but this didn’t quite work. I thought something was clashing with the whisky. I admit I did add a couple of drops of Absinthe (as Gabriel de Tuya’s suggestion) which did help 👍

Laphroiag | Dolin ... good and complex, tastes like the scotch you put in it i think and 'froyg has a lot of attitude

Not being a fan of overly smoky Whisky, decided to try this one for the Highland Games which occur every last weekend of May. This was wonderful Perfect for before dinner. Liked as per the recipe, but did also try Gabriel de Tuya's recommendation for a little Absinthe. Did about 5 sprays and it was a different cocktail, but also very good.

Lagavulin lovers beware ! You'll be buying bottles much more often after trying this one.

It doesn't seem like those flavors would complement a super-smoky Islay. And yet they do. I quite liked it, will make again.

I LOVE THIS COCKTAIL
In my experience the more expensive peated whiskies tends to not do so well in cocktails.
So for this, I used "For Peat's sake" which is heavy on the smoke, but fairly neutral otherwise 4,5.
