Pre-chilled glass in freezer, half a dozen generous atomiser sprays, return to freezer, sazerac rye, 2 dashes regular peychauds, one barrel aged, rest per recipe. Simply delicious 4.5 stars. Incredibly aromatic, I feel I should be munching on a piece of Cajun chicken on a humid evening. And thus we drink to a fading empire.
Made exactly to spec. Essentially an islay boulvadier. Perhaps in mr clapham’s mixing this would come off, but I’m not sure the scotch and amaro exactly combine. I’d prob stick to a Rob Roy or Bobbie burns myself.
Split the bourbon: Woodford reserve double oaked and Wild Turkey 101, carpano for vermouth. Wonderful depth of flavour, and balance was absolutely spot on. 5 stars by this serve!
A touch of orange zest to warm could work really well here!
