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.

Comments

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.
