Nice, light easy dessert sipping. Smokiness from the scotch helps keep this from being too one note and overly sweet, though many may still find it on the cloying side.

Sweet-ish, chocolate laced, marginally smoky... Plantation 3 stars... ooh, the smoke bursts in the aftertaste... smoky, bitter cacao artefacts... maybe test a dash or two of orange bitters in there?... worth playing with. (10 Feb 2024, 10:24a)

An interesting combination of flavours that work well together.

Wondering if the opaque, creamy cocktail in the photo is a reflection of a missing ingredient?

A combination of the El-Presidente and Negroni. A cocktail on the bitter side of bittersweet which is perhaps best served on-the-rocks
