Haut Relievo

This late-night sipper is a riff on a Red Hook. Dark in colour with a toasty flavour

As a huge fan of rum, loved this. Used Hamilton Pot Stilled Black Jamaican at 90+proof. Cocktail starts off with a hit of Jamaican rum funk followed by the spices of the Amaro and angostura. Ends with hints of pepper and cherries. Found the cocktail alive with a burst of flavours and hints of Caribbean mystic. Does benefit from a very long stir. Allow to breathe as the initial sharp flavours do mellow as it breathes.

Oddly, this is a cocktail which I think would be better shaken and stirred. It seems to benefit from getting more air and being very cold.

I just tried this cocktail according to the recipe and loved it, but after reading your comment, John, I think I'm going to try it shaken and stirred next time! Cheers!
