The balance of tart lime with sweet and spicy falernum, and that bittersweet background of the Meletti...terrific -- and I haven't even mentioned the rum yet!
(I didn't see the "aged overproof" part of the recipe, so I used Hamilton Black, which turned out great. I'll do the second one differently.)
