KALAMATA OLIVE

• DESCRIPTION

  Thinking of a lower ABV option so you could drink multiple!! Decided to make it with Johnnie Walker Black because of the smoke and vanilla notes. Paired with a kalamata olive infused Sweet Vermouth and Oloroso sherry. The nutty qualities of the sherry and the salinity of the olives work really nicely with the JW black and highlight it’s subtle qualities.
