Smoky Martini - Palomino - San Francisco
After a meeting we ended up at Palomino on San Francisco’s Embarcadero. 
The place is known for a great bar, wonderful bay views and innovative cocktails. Our server, Marsha, suggested I try this vodka martini flavored with a splash of 18 year old Glenlivet and Nolly Pratt Dry Vermouth. Not one to mix my vodka and whiskey, I was skeptical to say the least. Marsha ensured me it was tasty. She was right. The Scotch gave the cocktail a wonderful smoky flavor. Garnished with a pepperoni and a blue cheese stuffed olive this martini get a DOTW thumbs up.

I cannot see, where Glenlivet is smoky…
I would also substitute the vermouth with the malt - the whisky flavors are that strong, that the vermouth is only confusing [but does not add something good] - and then it becomes smoky, if you use a nice Islay malt (Bruichladdich, Bowmore, Lagavulin, Ardbeg or Laphroaig - did I forgot one?) or at least Talisker which is also kinda peaty/smoky….
