Pete's Word

A Last Word variation substituting an peaty Islay Scotch for the original's gin, Pete's Word was invented by him in 2008 at Death & Co. in New York. As he says in the Death & Co. book, "It doesn't make sense, but peaty Scotch and lime juice are amazing together, so I used this surprising combo in a variation on the Last Word."
