High West Barreled Boulevardier

To create The Barreled Boulevardier we mix Bourbon with Vya sweet vermouth and Gran Classico a bitter amaro from Switzerland. We marry the mixture in American oak Bourbon barrels where it rests until it reaches perfection. A complex and strong cocktail with a taste bud inspiring interplay between sweet and bitter. Very satisfying. 36% ABV 72 Proof How to Enjoy: Pour over ice or stir on ice and strain into cocktail glass with orange or lemon garnish. It's also pretty good served neat.
