Found this to be gin forward. However it does mellow to the orgeat. Apricot seems to be a bit lost. However this is lovely, will make again.

Hello Jason, an honor to chat with you!(I really like your "Landing Gear.") Simon, always a pleasure! Both drinks were on my "to try list" and made them a few times. Today, side by side, so my wife can help decide which goes into our house Rolodex. She prefers the YM, doesn't think it needs the Campari bitterness. After much to and fro, I think she's right, I don't mind the bitterness, but the Campari tamps down the almond and apricot flavors in the YM.Now, I ponder trying the FL with Aperol :)
