Review:

When first served, this is a challenging cocktail but time, and with it dilution, has a mellowing effect, producing a heavy but tasty digestivo or late-night sipper.

This is nice. I used Rittenhouse Rye and Meikakuna Japanese blended whisky. I did cut back a bit on the syrup as I made my own Muscovado syrup and it was quite rich (2:1). I might try it again with a higher quality Japanese whisk-something with a little more character. A lovely template, though.
