Strong Dark

하이랜드 플링 칵테일은 스카치 위스키의 연기가 자욱하고 몰트 풍미 가득한 캐릭터와 스위트 베르무트의 허브 달콤함을 결합한 스티드 스카치 기반 음료입니다. 오렌지 비터스는 밝고 향기로운 대위점을 더하며, 단 하나의 올리브가 세이보리하고 짭짜름한 노트를 제공합니다. 칵테일 글라스에 업으로 서빙되어 식후 음료로 적합한 세련된 선택입니다.

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.

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.
