Smoke & Wine Highball

Hakushu 12-year single malt is the smoky member of the Beam Suntory whisky portfolio. As with most Japanese whisky, though, the flavor is gentle and bright, with smoke notes playing a supporting role as opposed to a starring role.

The vermouth component of the cocktail is a tribue to a classic sherry cocktail called The Adonis. In the Smoke & Wine, the addition of vermut brings a sweet, warm, wormwood hint, while the Rancio Sec dries out the cocktail.

Recipe:

1 ½ oz Hakushu 12-year Single Malt Whisky
¾ oz Miro Rojo Vermut de Reus
¾ oz Abbe Rous Matifoc Rancio Sec
2 oz distilled water

Instructions:

Build cocktail in a highball glass over ice; stir gently to combine.
