Nose
Orange and spice lift over the rye.
Palate
This is a useful city-cocktail offshoot because it shows how tiny cordial accents could still meaningfully separate named rye-and-vermouth drinks in the pre-war field.
Finish
The finish is bittersweet, warm, and orange-tinged.
Summary
A Curacao-accented rye aromatic from the named aperitif field.
