The Blood and Sand was a historic film, with the legendary Rudolph Valentino as the toreador. And obviously, as was the practice in the 1930s, every great film was accompanied by an unforgettable cocktail.

And the Blood and Sand is one of the best because of its blood-red color that intrigues the eye.

But let’s not stop at the appearance, because the scent is also delicious, aromatic with herbs, cherries, and oranges lost in the scotch’s smoky background.
