Very good. The allspice and cinnamon really sit well with the bourbon. And the orgeat gives it a nice solidity. Big fans here.

Lovely. The combination of spices elevates this cocktail above most bourbon + lemon recipes.

A good cocktail. I love the flavour combination, but I found it a tad on the sweet side. I made it with a 40 abv whiskey and it would probably be a lot better with a bottled in bond style bourbon.

Enjoyed this, the Allspice Dram makes it a great Holiday drink. I think I will make this again with a little Apple cider juice and lose the cinnamon since the dram is there.

Sipping this right now after reading about it under the Tiki Max cocktail. Absolutely fantastic, just our style as a party drink in our home disco bar. Used a tiki decoration as I don’t do anything by half, my husband will tell you lol

Excellent tiki-style cocktail. Like all Tiki cocktails, it can be a little sweet. If you don't want it sweet, consider using less sugar syrup (I may just delete the syrup and pit in a pinch of cinnamon) and may use a dash more orange bitters. It is very nice with complex mixtures of flavours. Would definitely have again.
