Dominated by the scotch, but diluted enough to be very approachable. The coffee liqueur isn't apparent, but may be augmenting the smoke of the scotch. Not especially sweet, but not harsh or boozy at all - use of single cream keeps this light-bodied. A bit like a melted Scotch milkshake, if such a think existed.

I am not sure I will ever drink this. I had the alcohol, cream and ice in the glass shaker and I was stirring. Next a circle of glass pops out of the shaker followed by the alcohol, cream and ice. Its everywhere. So, five minutes later, instead of enjoying a creamy cocktail in an armchair I am on my hands and knees scrubbing. Now that's Aggravation!

Maybe it's just the Scotch and cream, but this reminds me of an Atholl Brose with just a little extra roastiness. (8 Jun 2023, 5:06a)
