First sip was rough second sip was interesting third sip I was sold. The galliano plays surprisingly well with the mezcal and the peychauds is a much welcome sweetness once the flavors all settle on the palette.

I added a half teaspoon of cinnamon syrup to this spec and personally find it substantially improved! Try it if you have it!
