Johnnie Walker Black, Heering Cherry, Dolin Rouge, & Angostura. Like drinking a slightly sweet, mildly cherry, smooth campfire... But I like that sort of thing, so thumbs up from me.

Not bad but definitely should be stirred, not shaken - doesn't benefit for the extra-dilution, quite the opposite.

Agreed, I've amended recipe accordingly.

This is a reasonable drink, though the use of "old fashion" set my expectation in a different direction. this is definitely more a Manhattan style both in construction and flavor profile.
