Very nice! I ended up with a Me/Me/and I (mezcal/Meletti/and Italicus) - I find that Meletti is very similar to Montenegro and is a bit less expensive, so I tried it. Rich and darkly sweet, and a nice note of smoke that really combines well with the amaro. The Italicus adds a bit of brightness, and makes a fleeting appearance as the leading flavor note after the initial sip but yields well before the finish.

I found the mezcal a little overpowering in this one. Might try with tequila reposado and see where we land.

Superb. I would never have thought that this combination could be so good.

Very tasty, and a sophisticated mix. I may try dialling back the Montenegro a hair, to bring up the Italicus a little. I’ll see.
