Since sourcing some Benedictine DOM a few months ago I've made this as an alternative to my more regular manhattans or old fashioned.

A month ago I picked up a bottle of a one time release Lot 40 Rye cask strength finished in cherry wood barrels. It was interesting but not something I'd buy again in most drinks ... till I tried it in this. It was stellar.

Now wondering if there's a specific cognac people find best for this!
