It sounds like a smoky Manhattan. I request that you make this your next project, please. And make your own orange bitters while you're at it! It sounds great. It sounds like a smoky Manhattan.

I haven't had one of those for ages. I seem to recall it being 3:1 scotch/sweet vermouth plus a dash of bitters. The bitters being the argument, as you often see angostura bitters, but I think orange bitters is probably a better choice if you have them around. People often garnish with a maraschino cherry, although you should give lemon twist a try. A Rob Roy! I haven’t had one of those for ages.

Drinking it is like savoring the smell of autumn leaves, impending frost and distant smoke in your mouth. It's such a nice sensory memory to have in California.
