Review

An indulgent use of bitters to produce an equally indulgent, and a tad challenging, cocktail.

Intense but surprisingly balanced.
Enjoyed more than expected but over stayed it's welcome in the quantities listed. Thinking halve everything except the Rum or, dare I say, share it out for a tasty shot.
