It's really good, but you have to like bourbon to appreciate this cocktail.

Excellent. I loved these old 1930s cocktails. Straight to the point and direct. Whiskey forward. Perfect with a spicy New Orleans themed dinner. Would definitely to again. Not for the faint of heart. An old standard hearty cocktail.
