A rye whiskey's spirituous spice adds backbone to what is essentially a Perfect Manhattan with orange bitters in place of aromatic bitters and garnished...
I also thought immediatly in the Manhattan, I used a Hibiki Master Series, Dolin, and Carpano Antica. It is delicious, I will try to forget the Manhattan reference and think more into the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, I did the forecast about this twenties being like that twenties... sort of.
Very pleasant, though I weirdly feel like I prefer the ‘perfect’ profile more with scotch, a la an Affinity. But really very good and will please many. I was content to make a 2/3 version on this occasion.
