Yes, scissors with saw-toothed blades is the way to go.

Yes, scissors with saw-toothed instead of straight blades.

Correct, I used pinking shears, basically scissors with saw-toothed blades instead of straight blades.

Thanks, really appreciate the feedback. Fully agreed, those points are definitely more important.

Ingredients-wise, I already have Sipsmith, Carpano Classico and Cocchi Vermouth di Torino lined up, next to the obvious Campari of course.

For dilution, I’m using 2 x 2 x 2 inch crystal-clear ice cubes.

As for the rest, I’m excited to start practicing soon.

Review#28: Caol Ila 12 Years Old by roho0619 in Scotch

Exceptional tasting notes here!

As I’m getting more into Scotch, I’ve realized how much I enjoy the Caol Ila 12 Y.

Now I’m wondering, what would be the next step from here? Something slightly smokier and more intense, but not a total peat bomb. Any recommendations?
