From the Bartender

Scottish in origin and named from a Hindi word for palm sap, which arrived home with the East India Company. Never use boiling water: it scalds the honey and drives off everything worth smelling. Irish whiskey and bourbon both work; a peated malt does not.

Japanese Whisky

Oyuwari

Steam carrying honey, dried fruit and wood straight up before the first sip, then a soft, rounded whisky that has lost its edge without losing its shape.

Bourbon Milk Punch
Bourbon Whiskey

Bourbon Milk Punch

Cold sweet milk carrying vanilla and corn, the bourbon showing up late and softly, with nutmeg doing all the work on the nose.

Mamie Taylor
Blended Scotch Whisky

Mamie Taylor

Ginger heat over smoke and cereal, lime keeping the whole thing tight, and a dry, spicy finish that is more grown-up than any Mule.

Chancellor
Blended Scotch Whisky

Chancellor

Dried figs and dark berry from the port, cereal warmth from the Scotch, and the dry vermouth stopping the whole thing from becoming a dessert.
