Notes
The rye brings a spicy, dry backbone, while the Cognac VSOP adds a smooth, rich depth with notes of dried fruit and oak. The amaro introduces a touch of bitterness, rounding out the sweetness of the Bianco vermouth. The orange and chocolate bitters elevate the drink with a hint of citrus brightness and a velvety, cacao-infused finish.
