"At Ben Fiddich, the magnificently coiffed Hiroyasu Kayama is the white-suited wizard of your mixology dreams. Nestled among the vintage bottles of spirits are Kayama’s bespoke botanical infusions, which he uses to make magical, homespun versions of liqueurs like Fernet Branca. On a recent visit, we loved the seasonal, gin-fizz-inspired Mori Cocktail (gin, fresh herbs, honey, and carbonated mint tea), while Nikka Coffey Grain whisky, blended with coffee water and presented in a pewter sake cup, made an appropriately soothing digestif." - Melinda Joe
