A brooding, spirit-forward sipper that marries the warmth of bourbon with rum's subtle sweetness, then drives the blend through layers of bitter complexity. The Fernet and Averna work in tandem, contributing menthol, herbs, and a roasted edge that tempers the base spirits without overwhelming them. The result drinks like a Manhattan's more worldly cousin—dark, aromatic, and firmly bittersweet.
