pine tavern road

1 1/2 oz Jim Beam Bonded Bourbon (Evan Williams Bonded)
1/2 oz Oloroso Sherry (Lustau)
1/2 oz Benedictine
1/4 oz Amaro Meletti
1/4 oz Walnut Liqueur (Russo Nocino)
2 dash Angostura Bitters

Stir with ice and strain into a glass; the recipe did not specify a serving style, so I served it in an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube.
Two Thursdays ago, I turned to an online flashcard set that included the opening 2015 menu at Seamstress in Manhattan. The recipe I selected was the Pine Tavern Road that had the walnut liqueur-Benedictine combination found in the Storm King and Sentimental Gentleman and the walnut liqueur-oxidized sherry duo utilized in the Juglans Regia and Folly Ruins. Once prepared, the Pine Tavern Road traveled to the nose with nutty sherry and walnut aromas rounded off with caramel-herbal notes. Next, grape and caramel on the sip exchanged for Bourbon, walnut, and herbal flavors on the swallow with an allspice and clove finish.
