This bottle went pretty fast. That does tend to happen when a whisky is REALLY good. Sláinte! A truly broody cocktail, the Storm King balances herbal, spicy, nutty, and sweet flavors. The sweetness comes from the scotch, so I went with Campbeltown Loch for its sweet sherry notes. Lacking Bénédictine I subbed Strega. A great cocktail to summon autumn. Cheers! I’ve been looking forward to this one, having heard good things. Out of the gate it strikes me very much like a sherried scotch. I’m curious how it will evolve with time. Cheers!
