Comments

Curated this - merged two identical drinks together, revised recipe to conform with cited link.

I had (basically) the things on hand to make this tonight: Clement VSOP, Gonzalez-Byass Vina AB Amontillado, and Uigeadail. It's fine, but just that. Vaguely lactic/blond tobacco and honey nose, soapy from the sherry aldehydes on the palate with not enough sweetness to balance or feel satisfying. I think I might split the sherry with Benedictine next time. Thanks, Zachary

At the risk of getting too far astray here, I really do like this: 1.5 Clement VSOP, 3/4 Benedictine 3/4 Amontillado sherry, 1/2 Uigeadail stir and strain. Thanks, Zachary
