The Dog's Bollocks is a proprietary drink of the new Barrelhound Scotch Whisky, a member of the Chivas Brothers and Pernod Ricard family. The drink itself is a wonderful combination of Galliano and whisky that is similar to the Wally Harbanger I tried earlier, even more similar since Barrelhound is an unpeated scotch with bourbon flavors. More about that to come... Here's how to make the drink.
- 2 oz. Barrelhound scotch
- 1 sugar cube
- 1/4 oz. Galliano
- 2 dashes bitters
Barrelhound is so new that it is only available in D.C. and Brooklyn, N.Y. It is a "new breed" of scotch, a "mutt" of Speyside flavors from the Chivas Brothers best barrels of malt and grain whiskys (including corn), but none of them are peated. The whiskys are married and aged in American white oak, which gives it soft vanilla notes like bourbon. Bourbon drinkers will really appreciate this scotch/ bourbon crossover and cocktail drinkers will find that its versatility means you can mix it into almost any drink. Think Old Fashioneds and Manhattans, but don't shy away from Rickeys, Swizzles and Tonics. Expect me to make a few more drinks using Barrelhound for future postings.
