  • tasty dessert old fasioned, definitely use overproof
  • Too sweet. 1/4oz or 2tsp PX sherry would taste better for me. Plus i made a mistake and used fee brother barrel-aged bitter... must try it again.

Updated the reference as the previously one was a dead link. Published. Usually we don't publish variations on a classic like this, but this drink was made by a respected bartender.
