bigmouth strikes again

1 1/2 oz Old Forester 100 Bourbon (Evan Williams Bonded)
1/2 oz Bigallet China-China (Amaro Ciociaro)
1/2 oz Aperol
1/2 oz Punt e Mes
2 dash Cherry Bark Bitters (King Floyd's Cherry Cacao)

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with an orange twist.
Two Wednesdays, I went back to the online flashcard set for house recipes at Atlanta's Paper Plane, and I paused on The Smiths tribute named Bigmouth Strikes Again. Besides the musical reference, its similarity to Eastern Standard's Prospect Park lured me in. Through an Eater article, I was able to identify the creator as Paul Calvert circa 2013. In the glass, the Bigmouth Strikes Again displayed an orange and dark fruity bouquet to the nose. Next, caramel, orange, and grape notes on the sip stepped aside for Bourbon, bitter cherry, and orange flavors on the swallow.
