Review:

A voluptuously flavoured nightcap that tastes boozier than it actually is. However, the residents of Nassau Street party hard.

More an aperitivo than a nightcap, in my opinion, since bitter dominates - but doesn't overwhelm. Great for Punt E Mes lovers.

Interesting comment regarding bitterness dominating. On first tasting I in fact found drink a bit sweet. Then I realized it was a little warmer than I generally prefer my cocktails which probably accentuated the sweet. Putting the drink in freezer to chill some more tempered the sweetness and amplified the bitterness making for me a much better balanced drink. A longer stir presumably would have done the same, but I think might have diluted too much. Oh, and agree great for Punt E Mes lovers of which I consider myself one!
