Is certainly spiritious so it benefits from being diluted. Time gives you more and more sweetness from the liqueur, balanced by the rum and Fernet. Not for the faint of heart but worthy of drinking, for sure!

Added a little bit of chocolate bitters and it really seemed to bring all the other flavors forward

Mamma mia! At last a drink with banana liqueur that's really good! Probably helped by being overwhelmed by rum and fernet.
