Butterscotch

A rich, butter-cooked sugar flavor with a creamy, almost confectionery warmth. Butterscotch sits between caramel and toffee on the sweetness spectrum, distinguished by its buttery roundness and gentle toasted quality. In cocktails, it appears as a secondary note from aged spirits — particularly bourbon and Scotch — and from butterscotch liqueurs, adding an indulgent, dessert-like dimension.
