Normally the Commodore has only Lemon Juice or only Lime Juice, but I like to use both in combination. _ Suggested Cocktailįor my suggested cocktail I am going to make a version of the Commodore.

I find the finish spicy and hot, but I also find it absolutely delightful The Afterburn 9/10 My throat is filled with a malty sweetness which has an ever so light hint of iodine. The whisky has a crisp honey and caramel finish with just a tickle of peat and salt at the very back of the exit.
