Bénédictine is really sweet with some herbal notes, so you’re right: not peaty! I used a blended scotch with medium smoky notes, but I think you have a lot of flexibility with scotches here to get different flavors.
I haven’t run out yet, so I don’t have any first-hand suggestions! But I found this article to be interesting, I think I originally found it after I read a times article about the monks cutting back production. I’d be curious to hear how any of them are if people have tried!

Yes! That’s a great one.
Good call out, I should have mentioned the garnish; I decorate with that thinly sliced lime round, just because I think it’s cute! It’s not big enough to squeeze or really change the acidity of the drink, it’s just cut super thin so it floats on top.
If we’re looking for egg white and no lemon juice, I’d go for a Pisco sour!
Mine is from before the monks got lazy!
But I hear your pain on the annoyingly tall bottle! There’s always one that doesn’t fit in the spot it’s should, and then breaks the whole system of organization. For me it was Luxardo maraschino liqueur; that thing is tall!
The redesigned packaging took nearly four years to develop
That’s… that’s quite a lot. I wonder what sort of wild iterations took up four years.
Cute mug!
I’m always feel like I have trouble pairing cocktails with Asian food, and this list has some really intriguing ideas. Thanks for the post!
That’s so sweet, thank you! But we are just playing local bars, nothing too fancy and no internet presence (yet?). It’s bluegrass, and I play banjo in it.
So glad you enjoyed! And agreed, it adds up really nicely.
Awesome, let me know how it goes!
I’m saving this one, looks amazing! And nice cut crystal glass, too.
Um, amazing! Thanks for the info!
It’s not looking good for harry welty.
