The Story
This is an original Anders Erickson recipe that we love! Definitely a nice intro to scotch. Stick with a blended scotch (versus islay) here. It's also a good opportunity to grab a quality Sweet Vermouth like Cocchi di Torino. The rest of the cocktail is a balance of sweetness (Drambuie) and bitter (Amaro). It's kind of an elevated Manhattan, but even that is selling this original cocktail short. Try it! Cheers!
