I picked this up the other day, not only because I enjoy an occasional pour of Ardbeg, but I couldn't pass up the limited edition package. It includes a miniature "smoker" inside the tin. There is enough space for a handful of wood chips or pellets. I'll probably try this out for smoked cocktails, since I already have several smokers.
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.
