The Oregon Man’s Note:

While some of the older recipes call for equal parts Scotch and vermouth, I’ve always preferred to let the whiskey take the lead. A well-made blended Scotch deserves to rise to the front, setting the tone for an elegant, moody, and subtly                                   smoky experience.
