My love for amaros brought me to creating my own blend of amaros to barrel age with Stranahan’s for a black Manhattan style cocktail. I’ve always loved the way fig and oranges play off both the whiskey and the amaros so I will be infusing the whiskey with fig and burnt orange while also adding a chamomile note using tea when I dilute it.
