History

Peated whisky replaces mezcal in this variation on the bartenders' favourite M&M.

Asher Günther is the creator of this drink. On Christmas Day 2022, he commented, "I've tried this drink a few times and very much enjoyed it. Tonight I thought I'd try subbing the mezcal for the other smokey bottle in my cabinet - an Islay single malt. Oh man. Someone needs to give this a name and get it on a menu ASAP." The drink has been tentatively named "Peaty Monte," though a better name may emerge.
