Rusty Nail

The Rusty Nail is a simple and classic Scotch whisky cocktail that originated in the United States around the mid-20th century, initially known as 'BIF'. It gained its current name and popularity in the 1960s, made by mixing Scotch whisky and Drambuie liqueur in a specific ratio, making it a perfect evening drink to savor slowly.

Flavor
The Rusty Nail combines the smoky malt flavor of Scotch whisky with the honey sweetness of Drambuie, resulting in a rich and smooth mouthfeel with a long finish that includes complex notes of caramel and spices.
