Which one fits your taste?

Which should you pick?
Pick the Monte Carlo if you want something herbal and aromatic. Go with the Old Fashioned if you'd rather have something more straightforward and clean. Both are boozy and spirit-forward and sweet and approachable, so if you enjoy one you'll likely appreciate the other.
