3⁄4 oz Bitters, Angostura

  • Enjoyed it because I like Cynar, but while the amaro steals the show, the sherry gets a bit lost. 3.5 stars. — ★★★
  • Extremely bitter!

  • Used Marie Duffau Napoleon Bas Armagnac. Bunnahabhain Ceobanach for scotch. Rittenhouse Rye Pechudes is slightly too strong. Maybe 3 instead of 4 shakes for two drinks. — ★★★★★
