History

I was influenced by a 2010 Thomas Waugh whisky drink called the Prospector (pre-Death &Co.) to create this drink of the day during our bar's Rhum Barbancourt drinks week (theme for drink of the day). The name helped to sell this drink tremendously!

I did not have any Madeira so I used a dry sherry - very pleasant!
