Nice cocktail with complex flavors. The source reference doesn't specify the Irish whiskey. Is Redbreast the actual original call, or was this the KC member's preferred choice? I made this with Martini & Rossi Ambrato since Noilly Prat Ambre doesn't appear to be available in the U.S. at this time...on my wishlist for for my next import buy.
