Amrut Fusion Indian
SingleMaltWhisky
India, 50% abv $65.99
Lovely frosty brown
appearance in the coupe.
Aromatically, this cocktail
highlights the Amrut Fusion
Single Malt to a fine point as
the nose is all about bread,
baking yeast and breakfast
cereal. Impeccable balance is
the underlying asset. Amrut
from India is now ready to
play in the big leagues of
whisk(e)y.

DiplomaticoReserva
Exclusiva Rum
Venezuela, 40% abv $ 31.99
This classic recipe is far too
good to be the exclusive
domain of Cognac as
aged Rum does quite
well when supported by
fresh squeezed lime juice
and orange liqueur. The
Diplomatico works so well
in this cocktail because
the rich and dense flavors
provide the perfect foil to
the tart lime.
