No palo cortado so had to make do with amontillado, but I did have Lustau brandy aged in amontillado casks. Licor 43 works well with the other ingredients and the sweetness is just right as specified. A few drops of vanilla extract made up for my lack of vanilla bitters. Distinctive and well-balanced.
