My Friend Peat

This peaty cocktail is a riff on the Final Ward cocktail , which itself is a riff on the the Last Word cocktail. The Final Ward replaces the Gin in the Last Word with Rye Whisky, and this cocktail replaces the rye whisky with Islay Scotch for the peaty flavor.

Paired With

Salted Caramel from Zotter Chokolade

A salted caramel chocolate bar from Zotter’s Chokolade( it's literally like a big truffle bar) was selected because of Peat’s love for caramel. The salt and the almond praline makes the cocktail to be a layered one and you can taste the peat once and then the caramel right next to it.
