Hoste Perfect Manhattan CocktailThe Perfect Manhattan isn't just a perfect Manhattan, it's a distinct cocktail all its own. A "Perfect" Manhattan is one made with equal parts sweet and dry vermouth, for a balanced sweet and zippy herbal element. Hoste's version uses vermouths from New York's Finger Lakes region on top of 5 year old single grain Finnish Rye Whiskey from Kyr Distillery. Cherry Bitters round it out, and a lemon zest atomizer is included the finishing off the drink once

FLAVOR PROFILEWarming and spicy with flavors of ginger

and orange zest greet you

The whiskey offers sweet aromas of vanilla and bubblegum with a touch of rye grain lurking in the background

and lovely light flavors of honeysuckle and elderflower abound

distilled water is added little by little

but then makes way for sherry

the amaro begins by individually macerating twenty organic herbs

Mellow Corn is worthy of its (only slightly ironic) cult following

and 13% cherrywood smoked barley

and spring water
