The Sexton Whiskey: The Night Before Christmas

60ml The Sexton
10ml rhubarb syrup
Few dashes of angostura bitters.

To create The Night Before Christmas – the first in the range of exclusive Noctails from The Sexton which utilise consumables that flourish under the cover of darkness – simply pour over ice, stir and garnish with fresh rhubarb (if desired). Those who intend to follow the path to darkness can expect the aroma of nuts, marzipan and dark chocolate with a pinch of spice.
