bonnie prince charlie

2 oz Scotch (Cutty Sark Prohibition)
1/2 oz Amontillado Sherry (Lustau)
1/2 oz Drambuie
2 dash Angostura Bitters

Build in an old fashioned glass, add ice, stir to mix and chill, and garnish with a lemon twist.Two Saturdays ago, I returned home from my bar shift in need of a nightcap. Therefore, I opened up the Bartender's Choice app and landed upon the Bonnie Prince Charlie by Brandon Bramhall at Attaboy in Manhattan circa 2018. While the name reminded me of the Bonnie Prince Charles, instead of a Cognac-Drambuie Sour, it was described as "Rusty Nail-esque. Slightly less intense with the addition of sherry." As a Scotch, Amontillado sherry, and Drambuie stirred drink, it reminded me of the Carpenter's Hand and Camino Del Ray that utilized Armagnac and añejo tequila, respectively. Once prepared, the Bonnie Prince Charlie showed off a lemon, honey, and smoke aroma. Next, grape and honey on the sip led into smoky Scotch, dried fruit, honey, herbal, clove, and allspice flavors on the swallow.
