This is a totally unique, category defying cocktail. The madeira tempers the sweetness of the Noyaux in an unexpected and harmonious way, fading into the background but still present. Well done!

will subbing the madeira with other med-dry madeira be viable? like justino's?

Yes. I'd certainly try. If need be, you could adjust the equal parts proportions.
