I like my Martinis dry but I never expected a splash of scotch to elevate the proceedings so nicely! Anything more than that little dose would be too much, but in these proportions it left me with a very pleasant, extremely tasty cocktail, even with the more basic Beefeater gin I had on hand.

Love this cocktail, been making it for years. I like an Islay or a smokey blend and a London Dry gin. My best so far was aging Ardbeg Wee Beastie in a TEN-30 rye barrel after I'd used the barrel to age Roku gin. Islay finishing in a barrel previously used for gin and rye, combined with Citadelle and Dolin Dry (15ml of each, 60ml of gin) is money.

This is outstanding. Perfectly balanced. The flavour of the gin and Scotch Whisky work perfectly together. Will definitely have again.

I come from Paisley. I wanted this to be 'my cocktail'. I've made and drunk ~100 cocktails using Difford's. This cocktail: genuinely nasty.
