Slightly weird, although my sherry is rather old, and I'm using a poor excuse for homemade amaretto. Very nice though, lingering evolution. Sweet almond underlain by the bitter sherry. It almost tastes like chocolate.

Odd flavor profile... strangely miny... Not bad, but I'm guessing this would taste very different depending on the specific spirits. I used Espolon anejo whiskey barrel aged tequila, Clement select barrel rhum, punt e mes, and Rothman & Winter apricot. I'm sure that a "real" vermouth would make it less bitter and more enjoyable. Also the tequila I used is kinda specific.

Not an easy drinker, intense and lovely piney drink, the cochi pairs very well with the Zirbenz.
Great sipper. The grapefruit informs the flavor profile nicely. Bracing yet delicious, a very nice combination.
No Cocchi so subbed Lillet Blanc. Fresh with an appealing aroma.
