From acclaimed Charleston barman Mick Matricciano, "This drink is by far my favorite Scotch-based cocktail. It’s a more full-bodied drink than the previous two but still well-balanced and refreshing. What makes this drink so fun is the type of Scotch used has a major impact on the flavor of the final cocktail. It’s a great bridge into more serious Scotch-based drinks, in that as you become more comfortable with Scotch you can substitute more aggressive styles into this cocktail for a completely different drink.

From acclaimed Charleston Barman Mick Matricciano, "I chose this cocktail because it is, in my opinion, one of the easiest drinking Scotch cocktails I’ve ever come across. It’s also a classic cocktail found most prominently in The Savoy Cocktail Book. The addition of Irish whiskey complements the flavors of the Scotch and helps to tame its aggressiveness. Bright, refreshing, and full flavored, behind the bar this is my first choice to introduce people to Scotch cocktails."
