  • Doesn't taste very balanced; the Islay Scotch dominates, and I therefore question the need for all of these ingredients. I used an aged Agricole and subbed Kina L'Aero for the LIllet.

3⁄4 oz Triple sec, Cointreau
3⁄4 oz Bitters, Angostura

The original version calls for equal parts, but a little extra sweet vermouth tames the spiciness of the bitters (per Serious Eats; see link).

Excellent -- letting the angostura take center stage gives a delicious clove top note.

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