Made this with Ardbeg Uigeadail and what a dance it did in my mouth. It was sweetness by the bonfire. Would dance again.

I'll try it with a Bowmore 14 before the Uigeadail. Just to ensure I'm headed in the right direction lol. Made with Uigeadail, that's a $50 cocktail in a bar lol. Fortunately, I have a bottle, acquired at a nice price ($105 CAD).

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.

Far to sweet for my palate. Therefore, I went back with the traditional 2 oz , 1/2 oz & 1/2 oz ratio. That was the ticket. Just used Monkey Shoulder, and it was nice. But, can see a wee bit of smoke and complexity being another level too.

Definitely recommend trying with a Talisker or something alike

Did not have Averna, but I messed with comboing Jager and Meletti and decided on 2:1. Wasn't quite Averna, but it was close enough. Resultant swill was ok, but I think the Cocchi di Torino wasn't quite right. But now I'm looking California and feeling Dolin-sota.

I was looking for something to use my Averna in. Found this recipe. Used the Laphroaig I had. I really liked the blend of the strong scotch and Averna. Will make again.

A good scotch really shines here. The Talisker is lovely.

Only had carpano for the red vermouth tonight, so added ones dash orange bitters to lighten it. Deep and intense flavours, like a Scottishv old fashioned, in full kilt and sash. One to savour.

Almost feels sacrilegious using Talisker in a cocktail but all my qualms went away pretty quickly after a few sips.
One you can really sit with and enjoy slowly.

I just put Talisker in a Rose Crescent and it was phenomenal. Can't feel too guilty...

made with glenmorangie. pretty happy with it. choice of scotch definitely shines through.

tried with laphroaig cask strength. maybe too stinky, not sure it works with averna. the blander wheatier glenmo might be my preferred even though it's not a speyside
