I used Ardberg and smoked it. Tried again with maple syrup (pref).
Mr H doesn't like Amaretto so I made his with frangelico.

Balanced, interesting, nothing gets lost. I'll do this one again. An exceptional cocktail. IMHO.

my new favorite drink

The amaretto and honey are up front, though not without balance to the spirits. I’d be tempted to tweak as per some of the others’ suggestions. Very rich, though wonderfully balanced by the lemon twist.

Asher’s idea of bumping up the non- amaretto ingredients seemed a good idea to me. Certainly increasing the cognac to 60ml is good I think.

I switched the amaretto and scotch specs to keep the sweetness in check. Very nice!

FWIW, 7.5 ml of Lagavulin 16 was *plenty*, imo, so this may depend on which Islay you're using.

Lovely late night digestif. Personally I found the Amaretto just a little overpowering, so I ended up increasing every other ingredient 33% and I enjoyed it more. Final spec was 6cl cognac, 1.5cl Amaretto, 1cl Islay, short .75cl honey, 2 dashes Angostura, 3 drops saline

Homely Smoke !!! That was a great new cocktails which will be part of our recurring list. I will however cut down on the Ardbeg by a couple of mils. Cheers
