SF Girl By Bay<\/a> hosted a cocktail contest<\/a> a couple months back, along with Women & Whiskies<\/a>, and we thought we'd try our hand at an original recipe. The contest showcased Glen Grant's The Major's Reserve<\/a> single-malt Scotch, which is an interesting ingredient to work with. You don't see too many Scotch cocktails, typically; the peaty, smoky maltiness and heathery floral flavors characterizing Scotch can get lost in some drinks, and I typically drink my single malts neat or with a dram of spring water. (If I were to make a list of Scotch cocktails that spring to mind, I'd reel off the Rusty Nail<\/a>, the Rob Roy<\/a>, the Penicillin<\/a>, the Blood and Sand<\/a>…and then I'd have to stop and think for a while.)<\/p>\n

We tried several different directions for this one, but we arrived at one that was kind of a cross between a Rob Roy (itself a Scotch Manhattan) and an Improved Whiskey Cocktail<\/a>. Aromatic, with layers of flavor, this concoction pulls out the apple and vanilla notes from the single malt whisky.<\/p>\n
