Review:

Considered by many as a contemporary classic, "The Vineyard" is equal parts rye spicy punch, amaro herbal bittersweetness, and cream sherry richness with a touch of zesty orange oil freshening bitterness. Best appreciated as a digestivo or nightcap.

Straight to the classics list - I’m sure this will please many palates with its sweetness, richness and spice, complemented by generous hit of orange oil spritzed over. I can definitely see myself serving this to friends.

The rye works well, but I suspect other base spirits such as scotch or cognac would be worth trying - reminiscences of a Burnt fuselage here, tho I found this sweeter.

I felt it needed an extra third of an ounce of Ezra Brooks Straight Rye to cut through the Amaro/Sherry combo.

Definitely in the late night category. Boozy and rich.

Might as well call this the Holy Trinity. The bitters are the icing on the cake. They don't balance each other, they just melt into one. Beautiful.

Definitely a modern classic for me. Harmonious and complex flavours, it works just as well (at least in my house) as a pre-dinner sharpener. A ‘keeper’.
