INGREDIENTS
- 1 pinch cherrywood chips
- 2 ounces W.L. Weller Special Reserve bourbon
- 3/4 ounce cream sherry
- 1/2 ounce Carpano Antica Formula vermouth
- 2 dashes Woodford Reserve spiced cherry bourbon-barrel-aged bitters
- 1 dash Angostura bitters
INSTRUCTIONS
Using a torch and the cherrywood chips, add smoke to a glass decanter, then cover the top of the decanter to capture the smoke. Add the bourbon, cream sherry, vermouth, both bitters and ice into a mixing glass, and stir until well-chilled. Strain the contents into the prepared decanter, then cap the decanter so the drink mingles with the smoke. Let sit until desired smokiness is reached. Pour into a rocks glass over one large ice cube.
