Smoked Maple Revolver
What would you make behind this bar?
Together with my friends at @whistlepigwhiskey, I want to share a recipe that I created during a recent stay at the #WhistlePig farm in Vermont.
One of the most incredible parts of the trip for me was the fact that we had free rein in front AND behind the bar while we were there. This meant access to all the tools, mixers, liqueurs and more importantly, every single variety of liquid that WhistlePig has ever bottled. Yes, this includes the various maple syrups from our mutual friends at @runamokmaple.
This recipe came about during our first night at the farm. As we were crushing the fresh oysters and charcuterie after a long travel day, I figured I’d make something to pep everyone up and this was the result. WhistlePig Old World Rye, Aged 12 Years has long been a favorite of mine so that’s where I started as a base. The Sauternes, Port and Madeira finish added some of those fruity notes to the coffee profile. Add some smoked maple, a pinch of sea salt and a flamed orange twist and you’ve got yourself an instant classic.
Next time you’re thinking of an espresso martini, make this instead.
Cheers y’all!
