This is a mix of sweet and spicy on my palate. It has a warmth imparted from the herbal liqueur (I used Luxardo Del Santo), a little tang from the Triple Sec, some notes of spice from the bitters, and a sweet base from the cognac. It's got a lot going on with the feel and maybe too much for some, but it grew on me nicely. Would be the perfect drink in the midst of winter, by a roaring fire, in my imaginary country estate.

I used Jägermeister Orange instead of Triple Sec and I instinctively stirred the drink before realising it should be shaken. Bearing that in mind, it had a nice orange-chartreuse flavour which sounds obvious. The cognac is a perfect base spirit.
It’s a strong drink but flavourful.

Not bad but not my favourite - I can't fault it too much since I like all of the ingredients. It's a bit too sweet (though I definitely feel the distinct warming sensation of the Chartreuse)

Basically wrote this exact review in my notes before I saw this.

I like this, I think it's too sweet but it is balanced out a little by the herbal chartreuse and how strong it is. I think adding a little cherry liquor (maraschino, herring etc) would work to balance it more.

Not sweet, very boozy drink.

I agree that is too sweet, not my taste.

Could've used some acid or dry element to balance it out.

Overall not bad, and really good color given that is shaken has a nice effect of hazy to clear overtime.
