A bit too dry to my liking but otherwise a very interesting drink with a complex flavour profile, I get a lot of woody-cherry notes from it.

A cocktails of this name appeared in the series Black Mirror. The episode was Hotel Reverie. In the series the cocktail appears clear and a poison was added.
As far as the real Black Rose presented here I think it is excellent.

It's very good. At first it tastes sweet, but after a while you can taste the bourbon and the brandy (I don't have cognac).

A new favorite nightcap.

Excellent, this one really surprised me. The Cognac and Grenadine create an almost cherry like sweet/tart combo that is perfect when paired against the Bourbon. Don't skimp the Peychaud's - it is essential to that underlying sweetness. This is an underrated classic, IMO.

Even with cheap bourbon and cognac this is great, it lifts everything up.

A nice combination that starts with the oakiness from the Bourbon and finishes with the fruitiness of the Cognac. Used a very chilled Gibraltar rocks glass.

A little too slurpable...gone in ten minutes!

I tend to drink my drinks a little too fast. I'm a firm believer in "a warm cocktail is a sad cocktail"! Especially in this case served without ice, this as others state needs a well chilled glass.
