This update of the 20th Century (yes, it's an update, even though the name suggests it is 100 years earlier, just roll with it) is a darker spin on the classic. Obviously master distiller Brian Roan prefers this one, because it's got whiskey in it instead of gin, and it uses the red wine base of Lillet Rouge, instead of its white wine-based predecessor. Mix one up to warm you up!
