mean fiddler

1 oz Green Spot Irish Whiskey (Teeling Small Batch)
1/2 oz Bowmore 12 Year Scotch (Ardbeg 10 Year)
3/4 oz Cocchi Sweet Vermouth
3/4 oz Green Chartreuse
1/2 oz Campari
1/2 tsp Cinnamon Syrup
1 dash Aromatic Bitters (Scrappy's)

Stir with ice, strain into a Nick & Nora (coupe) glass, and garnish with a flamed orange twist (unflamed).Two Sundays ago, I ventured back to the online recipe flashcards for the Dead Rabbit and latched on to the Mean Fiddler by Jillian Vose for the Fall 2015 menu. The concept reminded me of a whiskey Tailspin of sorts with the vermouth, but also the End of the Road without it. Once stirred and strained, the Mean Fiddler struck up an orange, peat smoke, and herbaceous bouquet for the nose. Next, grape and malt notes mingled on the sip, and the swallow came through with smoky whiskey, bitter orange, herbal, and cinnamon flavors on the swallow.
