Had this again for St. Patrick's Day. Did cut back on the sugar syrup a little. Made it a bit drier.
I think the 5 ranking on the sweet and dry schedule is off. Should be a 7 or 8.

When made as suggested, with a Blended Irish Whiskey, I scored it a 4.5, but when made with a nice Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey (Redbreast) it goes up to a 5+

I made with a sugar syrup which was half light muscovado and golden caster sugars. Upped to 7.5ml of syrup and 5 dashes of Angostura with Powers Three Swallows whiskey. Excellent!
