1⁄2 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Punt e Mes
1⁄2 oz Bénédictine

Notes

For a less spice driven flavor, use a more traditional Aquavit. Very complex with multiple layers or flavors and aromas.

History

This recipe lead me to being a finalist for the 2013 Uncle Val's Best Botanical Gin Contest held at the Night Club & Bar Show in Las Vegas.
Also just named one of Gaz Regan's 101 Best New Cocktails of 2014.

Mashbills, Geeky Information and Resources

This is the last installment in a series on Bourbon by Zach Pearson. Read them all: Bourbon, Bourbon After the Act, Bourbon: What it is ... and isn't, Making Bourbon, Who Makes My Bourbon, Producer Capsules., Finding the Good Stuff, Tasting the Good Stuff, Neat, Mashbills, Geeky Information and Resources.

As a note, I can’t claim credit for any of this. This section is the work of a couple of users on the StraightBourbon.com website, mainly Josh, Oscar and a guy named Taanstafl2 – and see the note just below. But it’s too important to leave out even if it’s a bit more advanced.

For mashbills, I referred to The Book of Bourbon and Other Fine American Whiskeys by Regan & Regan, 2009, unless otherwise noted. Barton, WT, and Dickel are noted as approximate.

I use the format: Distillery Brand Name (%corn/%rye or wheat/%malted barley). This is a breakdown of "macro" distillers. Wondering what the different char levels look like? This is a good illustration.

    Published & curated to add establishment where it was created, approximate year, and to reword some of the history to avoid word-for-word copying from a portion of the reference.

  • Re Talisman, 7 hours 10 minutes ago Mixin In Ansley commented:

    Used Solera and it was delicious, unctuous and raisiny with the scotch at the finish.

  • Re Hope You Find Your Dad!, 3 days ago shadowkirby commented:

    Cut the mint syrup back to 2/3 oz and was still a touch too sweet, but nice nonetheless

  • Re You're My Boy Blue, 3 days ago OldFashionedCock commented:

    Substituted Wild Turkey 101, 1 teaspoon 2:1 Simple Syrup. I thought it balanced the sweet & tart components well with the tartness present but well tempered. Get a synergistic combination of blueberries and lemon juice. St. Germain was well balanced; neither disappeared or overpowering. My two critiques is that the Bourbon was too subdued for my liking and it may be a touch too sweet on the linger; I can't vouch for the effectiveness, but I'd consider bumping the Bourbon to a full 2 oz and either reducing the 2:1 simple syrup to 1/2 teaspoon or omitting it altogether.
