Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 1 dash Angostura Bitters; 45 ml Blended Scotch; 15 ml Scotch; 30 ml Cynar; 15 ml Port Wine

A stirred, whisky-led drink where Scotch meets bitter, herbal Cynar and sweet port, with a dash of Angostura to tie it together. From 2017.

The High Water arose when an open bottle of tawny port was at hand and pairing it with Cynar seemed a good idea. Compared with sweet vermouth, the port brings more acidity and a livelier character.
