This drink and its ingredients bring my mind to a cold winter night sitting outside by a fire surrounded by family, on a wind whipped island in the Atlantic. This scene inspired a balanced cocktail with smoky notes from the scotch, rich coffee notes from Mr. Black, a slight herbal sweetness from Yellow Chartreuse, a touch of citrus, and the hint of rich walnut. It is reminiscent of simpler times, where all of your worries get swept away by the cold wind that batters your face.
