treaty of paris

1 oz Knob Creek Bourbon (Evan Williams Bonded)
1 oz Pierre Ferrand Ambre Cognac (Monnet VSOP)
3/4 oz Lustau East India Solera Sherry
1/4 oz Licor 43
1 dash Angostura Bitters

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe, and garnish with a cherry and a lemon twist.
Two Fridays ago, I came across an online recipe flashcard set for the Baldwin & Sons Trading Co. in Woburn, MA, and I decided to make the Treaty of Paris. While this drink appears on their current menu, I found a menu photo that places it as early March 2017. The combination of Lustau East India Solera Sherry and Licor 43 is one favored by the Eastern Standard crew in the Black Douglas and Ponce de Leon; moreover, Equal Measure utilized that with the addition of Averna in their Velveteen. Once prepared, the Treaty of Paris brought forth lemon, Cognac, and nutty sherry aromas to the nose. Next, a grape-driven sip stepped aside for Bourbon, Cognac, raisin, citrus, vanilla, and allspice flavors on the swallow.
