Originally designed to be served straight-up, but I prefer this punchy, Negroni-esque cocktail over ice, mellowed by a little additional dilution.

Diluted the peaty with some blended as I couldn't see the need. So far (2 down) so good.

Contents of my cabinet required that I try this with something only lightly peaty. It registered as the following, in order of occurrence: intriguing, delicious, odd as hell.

Nice , if a bit too medicinal, with a heavily peated whisky (Port Charlotte 10) but fantastic with a lighter peat (Filey Bay Peated)
