caravan #2

1 1/2 oz Rye Whiskey (Old Overholt 86°)
3/4 oz Cynar
3/4 oz Amontillado Sherry (Lustau)

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with a cherry.Two Sundays ago, I began searching the Bartender's Choice app for a nightcap. There, I landed upon the Caravan #2 crafted by Felix Allsop at the Everleigh in Melbourne circa 2018 that reminded me of Tonia Guffey's Teenage Riot at Dram. Once mixed, the Caravan #2 approached with a caramel and nutty grape bouquet. Next, caramel and grape on the sip winded its way into rye, nutty, and vegetal flavors on the swallow.
