  • I would agree that doing 1/2 of herbal liquor and 1/2 of benedictine and 1/4 of islay is spot on.
  • Enjoyable but quite sweet.

Good but a bit too sweet. I did 1/2 of the Benedictine and then did 1/2 of an herbal liquor and then 1/4 of Laphroig and it seems a bit better balanced.

Yes. Most drinks like the 100 Year Old Cigar take that 2 oz spirit, 1/2 oz Cynar, 1/2 oz Benedictine structure. I found 1:1:1 enjoyable but on the richer end of my limits.

I tend to share the preference for more spirit-forward and less sweet drinks.

However, I read this particular cocktail more as an amaro- and peat- modified B&B. The bottled version of B&B is 60% Bénédictine, and so we remain roughly in the ballpark here. Using a younger higher proof spirit works here too.
