My make-do version included EH Taylor Bourbon, Mandarine Napoléon, Tuaca and Vanilla bitters plus cherries, of course.
Hopefully similar to yours and quite delicious.

Made as specified - not for me. Bourbon notes, but other flavors (vanilla?) were more than I like. Quite sweet, and boozy/hot.

I thought I'd help it live up to its name and used Irish whisky. I left out the syrup and used a drop of vanilla extract. Dark and mysterious.
