Black Scott

2 oz Scotch, Auchentoshan 3 Wood
1 1⁄4 oz Root liqueur, Art in the Age
1⁄2 bsp Grade A dark amber maple syrup
2 ds Blackstrap Bitters, Bittercube (full dropper)
1 oz Club soda
1 spg Cinnamon stick
Instructions

In a cocktail shaker, add the scotch, root, maple syrup and bitters. Dry shake until well mixed; add ice and shake until chilled, strain and pour into a low ball glass with a king cube. Top off with club soda, and garnish with a cinnamon stick to complete

Notes

There is a considerable amount of spice and sweetness in the nose and finish of this drink, but it still has a smoky body that enhances the wonderful flavor of the Three Wood

History

This is my 2013 cocktail design for the Auchentoshan "The Switch" competition. I framed it around an original cocktail I had done called the Black Rye; I was looking to showcase the sweet woody flavor the scotch has against some spicier and complimentary sweet notes
