Bartender Stories

Maybe this used to be your grandfather's drink. Maybe there was a good reason. I know it doesn't maybe sound like something scrumptious to chew on, but the interesting flavor and depth is worth the order to ponder. The choice of blended Scotch is undoubtedly up to your preference. Something with medium body and honey notes tend to be my choice to complement, and not overpower, the luxurious texture and flavor of Drambuie.
