An elegant, bitter, deeply autumnal little sipper, both darker and fruitier than the Boulevardier. One of its core charms is that there’s a lightness at work that balances the dark—Peychaud’s Bitters and Punt e Mes on the bright fruit, Averna playing the low tones, while the apple brandy provides structure, bridging them both together—and the balance is just right.
