🥃 Serve in: Cocktail Glass
Scotch gets split between sweet and dry vermouth, then finished with bitters -- a smokier, more austere cousin of the Manhattan built specifically to let Scotch's peat and earth come through rather than get buried under a bourbon-style sweetness. Named for the Scottish castle, it's a stirred classic for Scotch drinkers who want a recipe designed around their spirit from the ground up, not adapted from someone else's. Understated, and confident enough not to need dressing up.
