Very delicious Manhattan variant - similar to a sweet Manhattan, or a High Ryeser - except the applejack provides a leading apple flavor note. Excellent, but sweet, and boozy.
A beautiful autumnal cocktail. Intense, sweet, herbal, warning and bitter, and some wonderful spicy notes from the rye coming through.
I had slightly lower alcohol spirits : Sazerac rye and Avallen Calvados, so bumped up the latter to 35ml , and throttle back to rouge vermouth to 20. Could potentially even go 40 on the avallen.
Another delicious use for nonino apart from a paper plane!
