jaded sensibilities

2 1/4 oz Barrel-aged Gin (1 1/2 oz Barr Hill Tom Cat)
3/4 oz Dolin Dry Vermouth (1/2 oz)
3/4 oz Cocchi Americano (1/2 oz)
3/4 oz Luxardo Bitter Bianco (1/2 oz)
3 dash Orange Bitters (2 dash Angostura Orange)
1 1/4 oz Water (4/5 oz)

Combine in a flask (build in an old fashioned glass and briefly stir to mix). Note: this is a room temperature cocktail.Two Saturdays ago, I returned to Sarah Baird's Flask book to find the recipe that called for Luxardo Bitter Bianco that I could now make. That one was the Jaded Sensibilities by Matt Jernigan at Henrietta Red in Nashville, and I was game to give this White Negroni riff a whirl. I scaled down the flask-sized version to a regular three ounce build before waterization, and it welcomed the nose with pine, rosemary, and orange aromas. Next, pear and orange notes on the sip developed into pine, rosemary, bitter orange, grapefruit, and wormwood flavors on the swallow.
