Comments

4.5/5, much better than anticipated. I have been unsure what to do with the Old Monk Rum I picked up, and Becherovka can be tricky as a somewhat single-note (cinnamon heat) mixer. But the combination with Cherry Heering and Punt e Mes with an orange twist created an intriguing flavor balance. Sweet/rich overall, the slightly cinnamon rum hogo and moderate dark cherry captivated my taste buds from the sip, despite how rich it is (but not cloying.) It isn't balanced much by bitter, but there is a dark, burnt sugar essence with the orange peel (dropped into the drink) that makes the finish work.
