IBA ContemporaryClassic

El Godfather es un clásico contemporáneo de la IBA elaborado con whisky escocés y amaretto servido sobre hielo en un vaso old-fashioned, combinando la malta y el ahumado del Scotch con el dulce carácter almendrado del amaretto. Los dos espirituosos se complementan naturalmente sin necesidad de mezclado adicional. Es un sorbo simple y con predominio de los espirituosos que no requiere técnica especial.

History & Origins

The Godfather cocktail takes its name from Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 masterpiece film 'The Godfather' and is believed to have been created around the same time the film was released. The IBA recognized it as a Contemporary Classic, reflecting its broad global adoption. A version substituting vodka for Scotch became known as the Godmother.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Scotch malt and smoke with the sweet almond and apricot character of the amaretto. Palate: bold and spirit-forward with Scotch's grain and smoke complexity balanced by the amaretto's sweet nuttiness, creating a surprisingly harmonious combination. Finish: long, warm, and gently sweet with lingering Scotch oak and almond.

Pro Tip

Use a moderately peated blended Scotch for the classic balance — a heavily peated Islay malt can overwhelm the amaretto, while a very light Scotch may disappear behind it.
