Balmoral No. 2
Rich herbal whisky-laced liqueur dried and flavoured with fino sherry

What a weird cocktail. It's so strange that I absolutely love it. The salt is absolutely crucial. The sherry takes the front and center, building the body and most of the flavor profile. You can get the scotch from the Drambuie but it's in the background, working with the salt to elevate the softer notes in the sherry.
