permanent collection

1 1/2 oz Martell Cognac (Du Peyrat Selection)
3/4 oz Carpano Sweet Vermouth (Cocchi)
1/2 oz Benedictine
1/4 oz Fernet Branca
2 dash Jerry Thomas Decanter Bitters
Stir with ice, strain into a double old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with an orange twist-cherry flag.Two Fridays ago, I was perusing the 2014 era flashcard set from the Paper Plane in Atlanta when I came upon the Permanent Collection that reminded me of PDT's Montgomery Smith but with the addition of sweet vermouth and aromatic bitters. Once prepared, the Permanent Collection showcased an orange, Cognac, and grape bouquet. Next, the grape continued on into the sip where it mingled with caramel notes, and the swallow was a medley of Cognac and herbal flavors with a bitter menthol finish.
