ratcheer Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I like Johnny Walker Red (Black, when I can afford it) in a Rusty Nail. For the record, the worst Rusty Nail I've made was with Dewar's, but it was still much better than the straight Dewar's. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanstaafl2 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Famous Grouse is one of traditional scotches used in bars for cocktails. It is a blend, not a single malt, just as JW Red or Black is a blend. Black Grouse is the peated version of Famous Grouse but there are also nice choices from Compass Box like Peat Monster or Asyla. While any whisky can be used the Rusty Nail is "traditionally" made with a blended scotch. Edited October 27, 2016 by tanstaafl2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratcheer Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Ummm, JW Red and Black are both blends. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl2 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Which is what I said, if perhaps not in the most grammatically correct manner. 1 hour ago, tanstaafl2 said: It is a blend, not a single malt as is JW Red or black It could perhaps use a comma after malt!

lcpfratn Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 For years I used Jameson to make a rusty nail. Obviously not the traditional recipe, but I liked it. I'm out of Drambui right now, but since I've recently acquired a taste for peated scotch, and I've bought a stash of old recipe Teachers Highland Cream, I think I'll give Teachers a try the next time I pick up some Drambui.

ebo Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 As long as it isn't a "sweet" Scotch, It doesn't matter to me. I've never tried one with an Isla before. Seems like it would be a good mix with the Drambuie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
