This one's delicious (reminds me distantly of a Preakness Manhattan); the three ingredients really bring out one another's spicy qualities, from the peppery bite of the rye to the subtler, sweeter herbal spice of the liqueurs. Could see it working well in a range of proportions, from heavier on the liqueurs to a drier mix.
I'm a fan of chartreuse and benedictine so I had to bump up both for more herbal digestive sweetness. I think 1-0.5-0.5 would be good in the Nick & Nora glass and 1.5-0.5-0.5 would be best on-the-rocks in an old-fashioned glass.
I really enjoyed this. Your description of this as a put-you-down late-nightcap is right on though! Made the mistake of drinking this before dinner! :)

Nice herbal aromas and A little sweet (Experimented on a sweet tooth) even after Reducing the amount of Benedictine DOM And Chartreuse to 10ml each.
