History

Recently, I became inspired by the Armstrong from Idlewild with the Sfumato-cinnamon syrup combination. From there, I swapped the rye-rum base for the duo of Scotch and apple brandy that paired well with Sfumato in the Leaf Fall. Perhaps it was the Montenegro-cinnamon containing Battle Annie that got me on the gang naming convention, for this one I dubbed Hell Haggerty who I learned about in Herbert Asbury's book The Barbary Coast. Haggerty was part of the Sydney Ducks gang of British criminals from Australia who made their way to San Francisco's red light zone during the Gold Rush, and he owned two notorious establishments, the Goat & Compass and the Golden Rule.
