LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

A fascinating historical artifact. It's too sweet for some, but its unique blend of rum and vermouth makes it a versatile ingredient for modern mixology.

The Library Note

Created in the 1890s by Chicago bartenders Lewis Williams and Tom Newman, it was named after a coastal town in Massachusetts where it was first served at a private party. It became a Chicago institution, served at the Ladner Bros. bar for nearly a century before a modern relaunch brought it back to the city's shelves in 2024.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Dark cherry, burnt sugar, and a hint of herbal vermouth.

THE PALATE

Sweet and velvety with layers of stone fruit, molasses, and a zesty citrus edge.

THE FINISH

Clean and fruity with a warming, spiced rum aftertaste.
