Rinse an Old Fashioned glass with the Islay Scotch to impart its smoky essence, then set the glass aside.

In a mixing glass, combine the cognac, mezcal, and maple syrup.

Add the allspice dram, Angostura bitters, and orange bitters.

Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir the mixture until well-chilled.

Strain the cocktail into the prepared Old Fashioned glass.

Garnish with an orange peel, expressing its oils over the drink to enhance the aroma.
