While many Scotch drinkers will think that making a cocktail with a good
Scotch is a bad idea, they evidently haven’t tried many Scotch based cocktails.
Most of these recipes suggest using a blended Scotch, which is usually a
good idea, but it can also be interesting to use one of the many specific
styles of Scotch, whether it be something from Isla, a Highland Scotch, or
something completely different. The world of Scotch is big, and it’s
amazing how many different flavours there are. So expiriment and create
something different, just by changing up the Scotch you use in these recipes.
