halls of power

1 1/2 oz Wild Turkey 101° Rye (Rittenhouse)
1/2 oz Cynar
1/3 oz Sweet Vermouth (Cocchi)
1/3 oz Benedictine
1/3 oz Scotch (Cutty Sark Prohibition)

Stir with ice and strain into a cocktail coupe.Two Mondays ago, an interesting recipe was posted on Kindred Cocktails by Travis Bickel who I follow on Instagram as Cocktails.At.3. The recipe was the Halls of Power that had the rye whiskey modified by the Cynar-Benedictine duo seen in the the Filthy Rich and Death on the Installment Plan. In the glass, it provided a rye and herbal bouquet to the nose. Next, grape and caramel notes on the sip flowed into rye, herbal, and Scotch flavors on the swallow with a vegetal and smoke finish.
