In fact, this is just the sort of cocktail (like a Negroni made with Formula Antica) that persuades me that bartenders like you are a great danger to America. The recipe is simple, quick to prepare and entirely too tasty. Next thing I knew it was gone. And much too simple to make another one. Hell, the orange would just spoil, right? We need more complex and nasty cocktails. I tried this recipe using the JW Red Label and I have to say, I think it’s a bad idea.

I've made this one at work with Dewar's and Johnnie Walker Red Label and they both worked quite well. As for your weird expensive bottle, I always keep one in the file cabinet next to the desk in my office in case of late-night emergencies... Sorry, Jeff.

In the event that one lives in Oregon and can't buy Pig's Nose, could you suggest a temporary substitute in your recipe? Another blend with enough similarity that it would work? Oh, and thanks. I'd never heard of PX before and now I've got an expensive bottle of weird Spanish dessert wine. Why is it that you always cost me money? Soooo, Jeffrey.

I know Sheep Dip used to be widely available in Oregon, but unfortunately it's become rather hard to find. Hopefully that will change soon! In your case, Alex, I don’t mind a single bit.

I see that Binny's (in Chicago) has Pig's Nose but we need some (and some Sheep Dip) here in Oregon. Alex, you need to get some better US distribution of your whisky.

They are great little mini barrels lined with Sheep skin fake- no animals hurt in making them!.May I send you one? The strange thing is we are maturing some Sheep Dip in PX barrels in the maturation halls at Glengoyne and will call this new expression "Black Sheep" and bottle it when its dark enough. This is the first time I have told anyone. Thank you for the cocktail may I use it on my web site? All the very best for 2008 Alex Hi Jeff

I don't know about you, but I'm planning on playing with PX more in the future. The fine folks over at <a href="http://www.spencerfieldspirit.com/" rel="nofollow">The Spencerfield Spirit Company</a> also have another product called <a href="http://www.spencerfieldspirit.com/sheepdip.html" rel="nofollow">Sheep Dip</a>. Check them out, they're great people and fun products. Well, never let it be said that great minds do not indeed think alike, Tristan.

I call it a 'Sweet Rum & Rais'ini', great digestif. I've tried Pig's nose, isn't there another dog themed dram from the same producer? - Dog's Breath or something... ?! Nice blog by the way.
