From the Bartender

The ratio is everything here - equal parts makes for a sweeter, more dessert-like drink, but many bartenders prefer a 2:1 Scotch-to-amaretto split to let the whisky lead. Try a blended Scotch for approachability or an Islay malt if you want the smoke to punch through the almond sweetness.
