Nose
Celery-herbal bitters and whiskey spice show immediately.
Palate
This is a strong comparative marker because it pushes the Manhattan family toward a more savoury, bittered, and aromatically layered profile without changing the base structure.
Finish
The finish is long, spicy, and more bitter.
Summary
A celery-bitters Manhattan descendant from the regimented late aromatic line.
