Affinity

A sophisticated classic cocktail that serves as a lighter, more balanced variation of the Rob Roy. By splitting the vermouth component into equal parts sweet and dry—a style often referred to as 'Perfect'—the Affinity softens the boldness of the Scotch whisky with a complex herbal profile, rounded off by the zest of orange bitters.
