Take a Tip from the Flagship
What’s the most popular drink at the bar of the French Line Flagship “S. S. Normandie,” where you clink glasses with rajahs and royalty, with movie-stars and millionaires, gathered from every point of the compass to enjoy the Normandie’s celebrated cuisine?
Yves le Cannellec, noted head barman of the Normandie, lets you into a sea-going secret, tells you the special recipe that makes “Manhattan a la Normandie” the favorite transatlantic treat on trip after trip.
You can surprise your own guests with this appetizing Flagship Favorite. But to taste it at its best, use a whiskey that’s smooth as the sea on a calm July day, that’s flavorful and mellow and always uniform—G&W Whiskey. G&W have been distilling whiskey for more than 104 years, since the days before the clipper ship, when an ocean crossing took 44 days. Try G&W Whiskey next time you pour a drink—find out how extra-long experience in distilling means extra-rich flavor in your drink.
