The Staggering Scotsman (Espresso Whisky Cocktail)

A rich and indulgent whisky cocktail that blends the smooth sweetness of SLANJ Whisky with bold espresso, roasted coffee notes, and a touch of maple. The orange oils add a bright citrus aroma that lifts the drink and brings balance to the deeper flavours.

  • 10 ml maple syrup
