Review

A riff on the Rusty Nail using Barolo Chinato. Perhaps one for whisky and Negroni fans.

It's a shame no one has commented on this drink. I'm not a big fan of Drambuie but this is a delicious cocktail. I knew nothing about Chinato until recently and I really enjoyed this. Sorry you had to wait so long for a review Simon. The drink has layers and changes over time. A success for sure. I recommend everyone to try this!
