Did not expect the egg nog flavour to be as tangible as it is. I get a feeling it took a lot of work to develop the finely tuned balance of this cocktail.
As several other commenters, I used cardamom pods instead of bitters. A little dash of orange bitters will also go well with the rest.

This is actually the cheapest scotch I can get.. Tastes better than most in the lower price range.

The flavour profile makes Vat 69 great as a base (~⅔) for mixing with far more expensive Islay's with excessive smoke. It manages to compliment instead of diluting the taste.

I misread the ingredients and made with Galliano vanilla instead of L'Autentico (which sadly isn't available where I live..)
It still made a remarkably good 3 ingredient equal measures drink though!

Wow! I'm far from a professional taster, but still, the difference between Wee Beastie and Ardbeg 10 are barely noticable to me. This is definitely the best heavily peated whisky you can get anywhere near this pricepoint.
