Subtle vermouth and falernum sweetness takes the edge off this after-dinner whiskey charged, sipper of a cocktail.

Pretty solid drink. The Falernum is a rather unexpected addition, but actually works well, bringing just a hint of spice and lime oil. Very rounded flavors, the rye and Punt e Mes are smoothed out by the other ingredients in a nice, quite nuanced way.
