stenton

1 1/2 oz Scotch (1 oz Famous Grouse + 1/2 oz Cutty Sark Prohibition)
1/2 oz Amaro Ciociaro
1/2 oz Punt e Mes
1/4 oz Cherry Heering
1/8 oz Lemon Juice

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe pre-rinsed with mezcal (Peloton de la Muerte), and garnish with an orange peel-cherry flag.
Two Mondays ago, I was perusing the KindredCocktails database when I came across the Stenton by New York City bartender Rafa Garcia Febles in 2014 that he described as "an aromatic, slow-sipping version of the Blood & Sand." Once prepared, the Stenton showcased an orange, caramel, grape, and smoke bouquet. Next, grape, caramel, and dark cherry notes on the sip flowed into Scotch, dark orange, herbal, and cherry flavors on the swallow.
