I made this with Wild Turkey 101 that I finished in a 1 liter oak cask conditioned with Cabernet Sauvignon. No fresh wine. That said, this was a delicious cocktail that was different enough from a Brooklyn to make it a little interesting. Not sure its worth aging bourbon just for this cocktail, but I'd definitely experiment if I had a nice bottle of red I'm either finishing (or starting).

Not noticeably different from a Brooklyn. Maybe up the wine next time.

Loved the blending of the flavours and the hints of the tannin from the wine. Was not a sweet as some other similar drinks. Great colour. Would definitely have again. Perfect for before dinner.
