Made as per directions and I really like. May swap out rye for the scotch, understanding this becomes a very different cocktail. But my friends who like black Manhattans, but don’t like scotch, may dig.
Great cocktail. Made with Glenmorangie 10 and Cocchi Storico. I found it well balanced, with all the flavors able to shine through. I would highly recommend sticking with a lighter profile Scotch here, as a more assertive style would dominate and mask the other ingredients.
Formidable balance. An Impressive bouquet, which is in my neck of the woods (palate). I wouldn't discuss substitute ingredients, since it's excellent as is. Definitely on our fall menu with slightly salted & spiced pistachios.
I did something similar I suppose. Used Lucano instead of Ramazotti. Also used 2:1 Monkey Shoulder to Edradour 10. Vermut Lustau for the vermouth. Quite nice.
