A home enthusiast with a passion for all things tiki! Rum is my favourite poison, but I also love Whiskey, Brandy and just about every other spirit. I'm fairly new to cocktail making but I quickly fell in love with it and enjoy the pursuit of finding my new favourite libation. Cheers! ...

Editor's Note

Panamanian rum meets the peat of Islay in this tropical-meets-smoky riff. The flaming garnish adds a theatrical finish to a complex, history-inspired pour.
