tobacco road

2 oz Scotch (Famous Grouse Smoky Black)
1/2 oz Barenjager Honey Liqueur
1/2 oz Dry Vermouth (Dolin)
2 dash Angostura Bitters

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with spritzes of Laphroaig Scotch (6 drop floated).
Two Sundays ago, I returned to the online recipe flashcards for 1 Tippling Place in Philadelphia, and I opted for the Tobacco Road. Overall, the Tobacco Road reminded me of the Bottom Line that paired Scotch and honey liqueur but with Manzanilla sherry instead of dry vermouth here. Once in the glass, the drink showcased a peat smoke bouquet from the floated Laphroaig. Next, a honey and white grape mix on the sip flowed into Scotch, honey, and clove flavors on the swallow.
