Bobcat's Tail

1 1⁄2 oz Rye
1⁄2 oz Islay Scotch (Or any smoky Scotch)
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Maple syrup
1⁄2 oz Allspice Dram
Instructions

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail coupe.

History

I became inspired by the maple-allspice dram combination that I recently had in the Fireside Chat. The allspice dram component got me riffing on the Lion's Tail, and maple boils made me think of smoke, so a touch of Islay whisky fit the bill. Moreover, the maple syrup made me wonder what wildcats live in syrup producing areas, and naming this after a cat with little or no tail seemed ironic.

  • It's a classic... I made it at home and wasn't blown away. I'll try it at the Kaikan Hotel though. Maybe they know something I don't.

  • Opaque tan drink with an aroma that evokes lemon cookies on nose. Nuttiness from the beginning to the end. The lemon on the front end and the rye spice on the back end allow the indulgent Nutella flavors to show off without getting too cloying.
