History

Spirit-forward and bittersweet, yet balanced. Reminiscent of an old-fashioned, drinkable as an aperitif.

Robbie Neskens created this cocktail in 2018 at Bruut, Hasselt, Belgium. Neskens explains, "This cocktail is a twist on the classic Vieux Carré. Vieux Carré and Vieille Place both have the same meaning: Old Square. With the difference Vieux Carré being masculine and Vieille Place feminine."
