Review:
Amaretto brilliantly enriches bourbon. I tried adding a couple of dashes of bitters but found myself preferring the simplicity of just the two ingredients.
Variant:
Godfather (Scotch whisky and amaretto); Godmother (vodka and amaretto); Godchild (brandy and amaretto)

Adapted from a recipe in Stanley M. Jones' 1977 Jones' Complete Barguide:
"(The) BOSS
