Beautifully balanced. We love Rye and PX Sherry so what could possibly go wrong? And the bitters really broaden the complexity wonderfully.

Very, very dry. All I have is a grocery store Very Dry Sherry so I likely need a higher quality to really determine if this is right. I do taste the complexity of this however; its deep with the rye and the walnut bitters.

Yes, Px Sherry is very sweet, very rich and strong, lovely raisins. No substitute for it, imo.

Wild woman here: I had bourbon. I had an Amontillado sherry. I had homemade nocino from our walnut tree. It is sooooooo good.

Dominated by the rye and the walnut bitters. I like both, so this is good IMO, but I think if I dialed back the rye to 1 1/2 oz it might allow the PX sherry to come thru (and it is a waste of sherry if you can't taste it).
