Nicely spicy, good winter warmer. Ambitious statement as it's solstice.

It's like an all cognac Vieux-Carré with some maltiness from the Drambuie. Really nice honestly, just make sure you use a good cognac.

Warm and rich. Great blend of liquors, with the bitters playing a nice role in balancing the sweetness of the Dubonnet and the Drambuie. A perfect cocktail for a cool Autumn afternoon.

Sipping this right now. This was on my Wishlist to try more cocktails with Dubonnet. This is fantastic and definitely a 5*
