Strong Classic

Broadside es un cóctel de alto contenido alcohólico que combina ron de 151 grados y whisky escocés con bitters y ajenjo fresco, creando una bebida intensamente aromática y poderosa sobre hielo. A 26.61% ABV, la combinación de ron de alta graduación y Scotch se atempera con la amargura botánica de los bitters y el distintivo carácter herbal del ajenjo, históricamente usado en la producción de absenta.

History & Origins

Broadside is a modern cocktail with disputed origins, its nautical name evoking the firing of cannon from the side of a warship — an apt metaphor for the drink's powerful alcohol content. The use of wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) is an unusual and intriguing ingredient choice that references the absinthe tradition. The combination of high-proof rum and Scotch reflects a creative approach to building strength and complexity through the pairing of two distinctly different spirits.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Intense alcohol from the 151 rum, smoky malt from the Scotch, the complex herbal bitterness of bitters, and a distinctive wormwood herbal note. Palate: Powerful and complex; the high-proof rum's heat and molasses meet the Scotch's smoke and malt, with bitters adding depth and the crushed wormwood contributing a bitter, aromatic herbal character. Finish: Long, warm, and herbal.

Pro Tip

Crush the fresh wormwood gently before placing it on the ice to release its aromatic oils, using it as both a garnish and an aromatic infusion in the glass.
