zone amarillo

1 oz Mezcal (Del Maguey Vida)
1 oz Reposado Tequila (Cimarron)
3/4 oz Punt e Mes
1/4 oz Yellow Chartreuse
2 dash Angostura Bitters
2 dash Peychaud's Bitters

Build in an old fashioned glass, add ice, stir to mix and chill, and garnish with an orange twist and a cherry.
Two Saturdays ago, I opened up the Bartender's Choice app and came across the Zone Amarillo by Mike Dolfini at Nashville's Attaboy circa 2019. Overall, it read like an agave Green Point so I figured that it would be a win. Putting the recipe into action, the Zone Amarillo gave forth an orange, vegetal, smoke, and grape bouquet to the nose. Next, grape notes on the sip tranversed into smoky agave and herbal flavors on the swallow with a vegetal finish.
