A tripartite of whiskies come together in this beguilingly smoky beverage exuding the spirit of the Islays, helmed prominently by the commanding presence of a Laphroaig 10, further fortified via a smokey Monkey Shoulder and house whisky blend. Umami bitters and a splash of lemon raises the complexity of the cocktail, lifting it to even greater heights. They finish it off with a garnish of Japanese sea grapes dangling from the rim, its ocean-y brininess conjuring the wind-swept coasts of the Scottish isles.
