Moonriver #24 - The Den Master

There is a doctrine that persists from the Old Times; hissed from the corners of the amaranth and amalgamate souls trapped forever in the ether...

"You don't mess with a good Scotch."

Welp.
  To hell with that!

As I've begun to cultivate a new love of Scotch whiskey, I undoubtedly have fallen down the rabbit hole reserved for so many previous palette discoveries to satiate an aching question: What goes well with Scotch?

Simple Pairings

Though I was never one to throw a punch in a bucket and see what sticks, drowning out any semblance of flavor with an excess of Gin and Vodka (sighs in college), the urge to blend new loves with old ones still calls to me.  What are those old loves, you may ask?

Well, Disaronno (fine amaretto), Drambuie, Fireball, and Angostura Aromatic Bitters.
  And, after a little research, turns out those old loves already had their honeymoon pairings in two separate homes.  You might recognize the classics: The Rusty Nail and The Godfather.

THE RUSTY NAIL
1.5 oz Scotch whiskey
3/4 oz Drambuie

Pour over ice and enjoy

THE GODFATHER
1.5 oz Scotch whiskey
1/2 oz amaretto liqueur

Pour over ice and enjoy

...Or be a heathen and some Coca-Cola and enjoy anyway!

Upon learning this, I was bolstered by my past cultivation and skillset and set to work making my own "gentleman's drink".  

The Den Master

This one's all mine.

Take a nice whiskey glass and put 3 ice cubes in it.  Then, pour the following over the ice in this order.
1) 1/2 oz Drambuie
2) 1/2 oz Wild Moon Birch Liqueur
3) 1 oz Disaronno
4) 1/2 oz Fireball
5) 2 oz Dewer's Scotch 
6) 4-6 dashes Angostura Bitters 
Swirl the glass and sip away.  No soda needed.

  I like the bright bite of the Dewer's Scotch, mitigated by the syrupy sensations of the Drambuie mixed with the subtle Birch.  Fireball, Disaronno, and Bitters are a match made in Elysium.  

So if you're down for a cloak, a dagger, and a gentleman's talk, come join me at the table.
