The Bénédictine gives the exact amount of sweetness without hiding the whisky (I used Duncan Taylor blended Black Bull Kyloe). Amazing cocktail.

Used JW Black Label - it teams well with Benedictine and Ango' bitters. Could sip on this every evening after dinner- but like Jim I'm try Bogarts.

I substituted The Bitter Truth’s Bogart Bitters, it’s a great cocktail.
