At the picturesque Sydney cocktail bar, Smoke at Barangaroo House, their twist on the modern classic cocktail, the Red Hook, sees Aberfeldy 12 single malt whisky paired with a PX sherry and sweet vermouth combo. A lick of salted honey gives the drink a hit of umami and a fuller body, says its creator Pauric Kennedy.
