EDUCATION RECAP AND TAKEAWAYS
The thing is, most bartenders use smoke as a special effect just for the smoke and not for everything else in the Whisky, a blunt instrument. The whole point about a great smoky Whisky is the complexity of the overall drink and how the smoke is just one element.
Smoke is an aroma that is often misused – start to understand how smoke can add a missing flavor, aroma, characteristic or “je ne sais quoi” to your cocktail, without the automatic placement of “cocktail under a cake dome for 15 minutes.”
