moniker

1 1/2 oz Maker's Mark Bourbon (Four Roses Small Batch)
3/4 oz Amontillado Sherry (Lustau)
1/2 oz Amaro Ciociaro
1/8 oz Benedictine
3 dash Scrappy's Black Lemon Bitters

Stir with ice, strain into a double old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with a dehydrated orange slice (fresh orange twist).
After tracking down the Noble Savage recipe the night before to StarChefs, I searched the site for other drink ideas. There, I was lured in by the Moniker crafted by Randy Jeffers as Scholar in Portland, Oregon, circa Spring 2023 with its Creole vibe but with sherry instead of sweet vermouth. Once prepared, the Moniker launched off with an orange, nutty grape, and caramel bouquet. Next, a semi-dry grape and caramel sip subsided into Bourbon, nutty sherry, and orange herbal flavors on the swallow.
