Went with Redbreast 12 and Talisker 10 - the first sip was dominated by campari, but it felt well balanced after that. I'm curious though, is this the right picture? Mine was much darker

I didn’t have cinnamon syrup on hand so I used falernum. Worked a treat! I would say this resembles a more refined version of the 100 Year Old Cigar, which I also like.

Very heavy, very powerful flavours that are well matched. Smoky, bitter, herbal, warming. I omitted the syrup and just added cinnamon tincture instead and it was still a tad sweet even for my taste.

Whoowee, I found this way too sweet. Maybe I'm sensitive as I love Chartreuse but thisway too sugary for me.

Well this was a surprise. The only Irish whisky I had was Connemara peated so I used 45mls of that instead of the 30mls of Irish + 15mls of peated scotch. Vermouth was antica formula. Extremely complex yet well balanced drink, not to smoky or peaty either. Just a tiny bit too sweet, would try without the simple syrup next time.

Whoa. this thing is a juggernaut. I don't like Campari but I do love Green Chartreuse so... I tried it and I like it. It's strong but subtle. I think it's an elegant late night or out at at fancy restaurant kind of cocktail. Don't drink on an empty stomach!

Controversial statement: I accidentally forgot the sweet vermouth when I made this yesterday, and actually preferred it to the original :D Boozy bien sûr but really nice!
