Notes

For a Hedges feel, use a fine plain base such as Toque Quit or WoS Plain. Six Photo Cheeta Chhap Gul makes it punchier still. For other textures try High Dry Toast, Irish No. 22, a plain rappee, a dark Scotch or a South African gwayi. Let the alcohol evaporate completely before you take a pinch.
