Strong Dark

ハイランド・フリング・カクテルはスコッチウイスキーのスモーキーでモルトの効いたキャラクターとスウィートベルモットのハーブの甘みを組み合わせたスティードなスコッチベースのドリンクです。オレンジビターズが明るくアロマティックな対旋律を加え、一粒のオリーブがセイボリーでブライニーなノートをもたらします。カクテルグラスにアップで提供され、食後の飲み物として洗練された選択です。

History & Origins

The Highland Fling takes its name from the traditional Scottish folk dance, and appears in early 20th-century American cocktail literature as part of a broader enthusiasm for Scotch-based mixed drinks. Its exact origin is disputed, though it closely resembles the Rob Roy family of stirred Scotch cocktails. The olive garnish distinguishes it from closer Martini relatives.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Smoky malt and Scotch whisky lead, with a fragrant lift of orange and herbal vermouth. Palate: Smooth and warming, the whisky's richness is tempered by the vermouth's subtle sweetness and the bitters' spice. Finish: Long and slightly bitter, with a lingering olive-brine and oak note.

smoky herbal bitter rich malty

Pro Tip

Use a quality blended or Highland Scotch and stir well over ice for at least 30 seconds to achieve proper dilution before straining.
