Review:

Fernet Branca adds an almost smoky note to the rye whiskey, Yellow Chartreuse and cherry brandy combo. A great bittersweet after-dinner digestif.

made this with bourbon and green chartreuse and was pleasantly surprised with the result, the aroma and taste were exquisite... will experiment with more smokey whisky next time

This is really good. We halved the fernet branca because we find the flavour unpleasant. It was sweet, but very drinkable

Superb. Perfect color and mix of flavours for a cool Sunday afternoon in the Autumn. "Really Top-Drawer!"

I wasn’t expecting to like this but tried it based on the positive comments. Pleased I did, very good indeed, an enjoyable sipper. Just curious, is this cocktail called Mad Men or Made Men?
