Balvenie Manhattan

Would you dare to add a touch of honey to a Balvenie Scotch Manhattan? Caribbean Cask, with it's honey, vanilla, and oak notes comes alive with La Tovara honey and Vermouth Ditorino as companions. The honey and vermouth share herbal, mineral and earth notes which amplify each other and highlight the scotch. Top off with orange and Tochhia Merena Cherries to round out this luxurious drink.
