The Rusty Compass draws its soul from the mid-20th-century classics. It is an evolution of the Rusty Nail, a drink famously adored by the Rat Pack. While the original relied on the stark contrast between smoky Scotch and sweet, herbal honey-liqueur, the addition of bitters in this version acts as a navigator, balancing the composition and sharpening the edges of the Drambuie. It is a cocktail designed for those who appreciate the slower, contemplative moments of a long, dimly lit night.
