For the fall and winter months we have created a cocktail list that includes the variations of the famous Manhattan cocktail.
The main theme of most of the cocktails are barrel aged liquors and syrups. We have also included our very own Barrel Aged White Manhattan. The cocktail named Head Strong, is a combination of Woodinville Whiskey Co. Headlong White Dog Whiskey, Aperol and Carpano Antica Formula vermouth. These ingredients are combined and aged in charred white oak barrels for 5 weeks. The cocktail mellows in the barrel and makes for a fabulous cocktail with a corny, sweet bitterness. This cocktail will be our feature during Seattle’s Cocktail Week running Oct. 27th to the 30th.
A barrel aged pure Maple Syrup is part of the Woodland cocktail, along with Woodford Reserve. Jim Beam’s new Devil’s Cut, the opposite of Angel’s Share, which is a process of shaking every last drop from the whiskey barrel is used in Cowboy cocktail, which has a smooth vanilla finish.
Our personal selection of bourbon from Buffalo Trace is our new signature Manhattan. Five samples were sent to us, the best was selected from the five and 8 weeks later our selection arrived. This Personal Selection has a lot of oak, vanilla and a bit of heat, when combined with Carpano Antica sweet vermouth and a bourbon cherry, it makes one great cocktail.
