Whisky Cocktail: Quinta Vino

Sometimes I like to dabble in cocktail construction with my good friend forrest.  He has an amazing cocktail site called, a drink with forrest.  When I wrote my review of the Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban, I asked him for help in constructing some nice elegant cocktails to enjoy using this fine Single Malt Scotch.  Forrest in his usual helpful and endearing style made this fantastic cocktail called Quinta Vino.

(Although the recipe originally called for a specific single malt scotch, I have messed around a bit and discovered that the cocktail tasted great with any of the more sweetish scotch whiskies in my cabinet.)
