Forgot to mention in my previous comment that I used Johnnie Walker Black, Drambuie, & Galliano Espresso.

This isn't necessarily a drink that'll knock your socks off, but if you want a somewhat creamy, smokey/herbal dessert/nightcap, this is a solid choice. It's not too creamy/heavy/fatty nor too smokey/herbal. Coffee is mild, too. I wanna say there's a hint of "chocolate" in there... Slightly astringent. Could maybe try a small amount of sugar syrup if you want something more on the dessert side of things, but either way, a fairly well balanced easy sipper.
