Review:

Lovers of the Sazerac will appreciate this herbal, bourbon-laced cocktail. Spirit-forward but becomes progressively sweeter as it dilutes.

Somehow gives me Vieux Carre vibes. Sazerac is an apt comparison. Without simple syrup, it's good too, the Galliano on full display, but arguably begs for a bit of sugar... Also, I didn't put this over ice. Served it up. (5 Oct 2023, 4:29p)

Pretty good. Any reason this is shaken and not stirred?

Shaking adds dilution and pleasing aeration but modern bartending convention would require stirring. I’ve amended accordingly.
