1⁄2 oz CioCiaro

Notes

Cutty Sark Prohibition was my choice for the blended Scotch. Uses what you've got though.

History

Jolly Jane named after Jane Toppan, an 1890s serial killer that I learned about during a Cutty Sark-sponsored Boston Crime Tour that I helped to organize via my role as an officer of the Boston chapter of the USBG (bartenders' guild). I was inspired by writing up The Manhatta for the blog earlier that day with the Punt e Mes and Lustau East India Solera Sherry combination. I opted for Amaro Ciociaro which added an elegance to this Scotch drink (as a tribute to the day's sponsor) that Aperol and Campari did not provide in previous iterations.

Very good with Johnnie Walker Black (some months ago), excellent with Cutty Sark Prohibition tonight--I was finally able to lay my hands on a bottle. Along with the higher proof bite, there is some finesse to the Prohibition flavor profile that I find lacking in other blended Scotches I have tried.
