The connoisseurs of Scotch would appreciate this version of Boulevardier (or whiskey based Negroni) with a subtle fusion of classical Montenegro Amaro...
This is good! Bittersweet & complex. Sweet up front, followed by smoke (but not too much), then bitter, "soapy"/floral, orange. The Carpano is hard to pick out, but I have little doubt that it's adding to the overall complexity. I kind of want to rate this 4.75 stars... I used Johnnie Walker Black, Carpano Antica, Montenegro Amaro, Aperol, & Angostura Aromatic bitters. If you like each of these ingredients, this is worth trying.
Thank you for your kind words and really happy that you like it! Using JW Black is right on the target. I recommend any aged Scotch of your preference. Since you like this one, I kindly advise you to try my Boulevardier Dogs recipe, a spinoff of the classical Boulevardier cocktail. Enjoy it!
