My feeling was that doing the dilution in the glass made the flavor better, because it reduced the earlier dilution. They were two different cocktails. I get the sense that sherry is more sensitive to dilution.

great cocktail, I used dry vermouth instead of Amontillado, Biostilla's Rondo for Aperol style, and Chairmans reserve legacy rum. Drink with fresh start, then slightly bitter and ending with toffee taste, if the name haven't given it away I would never have guessed on beforehand

Solid, but for me not exceptional. I think the Toffee notes would be highly dependent on your choice of rum, and I didn't get a lot of those. I tried a variation with amaro Nonino instead of the aperitivo (Aperol), and found it added a bit of depth I was otherwise missing.

Perfect name ! Like the Negroni, this is a cocktail I can see myself go to very often : easy to remember, to build & to drink.

R.L. Seale 10 | Don Benigno ... found it lacked dimensionality or balance, will try with a different rum. 3 stars

Rhum Barbancourt 8 | Don Benigno ... definitely a better rum choice, much more clarity from the grapes and crispiness from the aperol. 4 stars

I made this with El Dorado 8 before I saw your comment. I happen to have Rhum Barbancourt 8 on hand, and tried it next, but I felt it pulled into the background compared to the El Dorado... Not sure which I like more, because the El Dorado added some dimension, while the Rhum Barbancourt seemed to compliment the other ingredients more... Interesting variation, nonetheless.

Cane Island Thailand 5 | Don Benigno ... sweeter and less clarified, more sugary, not as good as rhum barbancourt. 3.5 stars

I didn't have any sherry open, but this is also excellent with Carpano Antica. I used a cocoa-nib infused Campari and the Real McCoy 5 year rum. I'm eager to try it with the amontillado next time I have a bottle.

This is brilliant!! I made one with angostura 5 yo 30ml and Campari and one with angostura 5yo and plantation xaymaca half and half, and Campari. The second one was the best, with more toffee flavour. Excellent in any case. Our guests loved it too..

Used 3cl of Plantation Dark 40%, 2cl of Amontillado Sherry and 2cl of Aperol.

By the time I stirred it intense Pineapple notes emerged from the glass, crazy. Did not have such a strong association of something not being actually in the cocktail for a long time.

"Toffee" Aroma probably relying on older, less fruity style of rums.
