History

Scotch whisky adds a delicately malty backbone to this zesty, fruity, and honeyed anytime cocktail.

This Scotch whisky-based cocktail was adapted from a 1990s recipe by London bartender Wayne Collins. It is named after a type of large woodland grouse. Sadly, the UK's Capercaillie population has diminished to such an extent that the bird is now considered at risk of extinction.
