Old Money No. 2
Best described as a nutty, delicately bittersweet Old Fashioned. A tasty digestivo or late-night sipper

A nice introduction to Nocino and I liked the Aperol to brighten the drink versus using a sweet vermouth. The allspice dram spritz is what elevates this drink for me and I will be making these when the weather gets colder and as a holiday treat.

Great cocktail with a fun name! My wife and I really enjoyed this. We have a bottle of Nocino Walnut Liqueur that we rarely use (except in our own Manhatten variation), so it was nice to find another spirit forward cocktail to use it with.

Could one substitute a couple of dashes of walnut bitters for the liqueur?

Dear John (as the ladies sometimes continue to write...hopefully not in your case), since you once pointed me in the direction of a local retailer for an amaro that was eluding my grasp, let me try to return the favour. What you might welcome is either/or both a wine-based Noix Saint Jean Aperitif (Spirits of France will oblige); and/or a spirit based Nocino such as that produced downunder by Autonomy. Nocino will deliver a 'bigger' drink but we like the subtlety of the aperitif. Your call. Cheers.

You could sub bitters for sweet liqueur, but it would produce a quite different cocktail.

We love this...works equally well, if not better, with Rittenhouse Rye in place of Bourbon.

Makes sense since Rittenhouse, like many Kentucky ryes, are only 51% rye in the mashbill. That's the minimum to be able to call it rye. "Barely legal" is what many refer to it as. Only distillery in KY who strays is the excellent New Riff distillery.
