The Rose Roy takes this time-honored cocktail and infuses it with a garden's worth of floral notes, resulting in a drink that's as elegant as it is aromatic.

Instructions:

1. Stirring Memories and Malt: Begin by adding the Courage & Conviction Signature Malt, rose vermouth, rosehip liqueur, and aromatic bitters into a mixing glass.
2. Chill to Perfection: Introduce ice and stir, not just to chill, but to allow the ice to coax out the subtleties of the whisky and its floral companions.
3. Pour with Poise: Strain the concoction into a stemmed cocktail glass, creating a presentation that's as flawless as the drink is flavorful.
4. Garnish with Grace: Adorn the cocktail with a Bourbon cocktail cherry, the final garnish that's both a feast for the eyes and a complement to the liquid bouquet.

 

Flavor Notes:

The Rose Roy whispers of rosehip and berries, a light and nuanced ballet of flavors that dance on the palate. The Courage & Conviction Signature Malt provides a robust backdrop, allowing the delicate notes of orange, lemon, lime, and vanilla hinted at in the rosehip to come forward. The rosé vermouth rounds out the profile with its light herbaceous touch, ensuring every sip is a celebration of the whisky's depth and the liqueur's floral brightness.

 

A Toast to Refinement:

This cocktail is a dedication to those who appreciate the subtler things in life. The Rose Roy is a testament to the craft of distilling and the art of cocktail making, a perfect choice for an evening of quiet contemplation or as the sophisticated highlight of a social gathering.
