History:
Adapted from a recipe created in the 1990s by London bartender Wayne Collins. This Scotch whisky-based cocktail is named after a variety of large woodland grouse and sadly UK's Capercaillie population has declined to such a degree that the bird is at risk of extinction.
Review:
Scotch whisky adds a delicately malty backbone to this zesty and fruity, delicately honeyed anytime cocktail.
