Named for the Cocktail's Creator
The boulevardier is named for Erskine Gwynne, who moved to Paris in the 1920s and founded The Boulevardier, a monthly magazine for upper-class expatriates whose contributors included Joyce, Hemingway, Thomas Wolfe, and Sinclair Lewis — "Park Avenue (Park City!)" as the back label puts it. High West Distillery, Utah's first legally licensed distillery since Prohibition, built this bottled version the slow way: the three components rest together in oak for three to four months so the bittersweet amaro, herbal vermouth, and bourbon truly marry.

Tasting Notes

How to Enjoy
Pour over ice, or stir on ice and strain into a cocktail glass with an orange or lemon twist — the barrel rest means it needs no further aging in your glass.
