Comments

I hadn't tried this in several years, just made one.  The sweet raisin notes are very prominent, some might say overpowering, so I reworked it a bit by splitting the PX (3/4 oz) with dry oloroso (1/4 oz) to retain the raisin-y, figgy notes but dry it out a bit. I also think it benefits from an expressed orange swath. YMMV.

Also, swapping out the El Dorado (which is really sweet, like 35 g/l sweet) for something like Foursquare might help. Thanks,  Zachary
