The Narrow and Deep
A single ounce of cask-strength single-malt scotch, neat — concentrated, intimate, no ice
Narrow and deep beats broad and shallow. People will pay a lot more to be in a really, really curated room.
Why this cocktail? Howard's doctrine is narrow and deep. This is one ounce, neat — concentrated luxury at the bottom of the funnel.

The pour the agency C-suite buys when they have already decided which conversations are worth being in.
