Nossos 20 melhores coquetéis com Scotch whisky

Uísque escocês - tanto blend quanto single malt - tem uma reputação de não ser amigável para coquetéis, devido ao seu caráter frutado/defumado/salgado. A partir do fabuloso Penicillin, de Sam Ross, achei que havíamos passado esta época, mas, infelizmente o Scotch ainda é invariavelmente desprezado como ingrediente para coquetel.

"Whisky..., "is a grouchy old bachelor that stubbornly insists on maintaining its own independence and is seldom to be found in a marrying mood. Its flavour refuses to be subdued. When combined with some other liquor the result will frequently be two distinct flavours, possibly antagonistic to one another, instead of a new and pleasing fragrance that is merely subtly suggestive of the two original essences"
David A Embury , The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks

"it requires genius to make whiskey punch"
Jerry Thomas, Bartenders Guide

"Really smoky Scotches, like the Islay malts, are the hardest of all the whiskies to find a home for in cocktails, though it's not impossible... "American blended and straight whiskies are much more cocktail-friendly..."
Dale Degroff, The Craft of the Cocktail
