  • Surprisingly subtle! I added actual squeezed orange juice and orange bitters for a longer drink, but original was great too. Also tried Amaro Nonino for Cynar — ★★★★★
  • Possibly a little too sweet, but Campari present and under control.

Jim Beam Black  is aged 8 years. But it's a bourbon, so if you want to stay with a tequila, you'll have to continue looking around. I'm sure there's one out there with the ever increasing brands of añejo tequila hitting the market. And there's always Google, too, to aide your search! Good luck in your quest.
