Curated this. Removed the long quote from Toby for copyright reasons - it's at the cited link. Added the grapefruit peel garnish, removed "fresh" from lemon juice... we know better. Rewrote instructions to avoid copyright. As an aside, this develops grapefruit flavors without the use of grapefruit - I'm not sure that adding the grapefruit bitters is necessary. Thanks,  Zachary

  • On the sweet side, but not cloying. Great use for blood oranges. I might make it a fat barspoon of allspice dram next time. 4.5.

  • Doesn't taste very balanced; the Islay Scotch dominates, and I therefore question the need for all of these ingredients. I used an aged Agricole and subbed Kina L'Aero for the LIllet.
