I tried this at some point in the past year and remembered liking it. Tried again tonight with Jameson and Pierre Ferrand and Taylor dry sherry I happened to have on hand. Lovely orange notes. I’m not a lover of whisk(e)y, but this is a great cocktail!

Proper Twelve, Osborne Fino, Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao turned out a fine drink. The flamed orange very much made a difference. Which brands have worked for you?

Orange curacao is the most variable of the ingredients and I agree with your choice of Pierre Ferrand.
