With this cocktail I aimed to create a warming, wintry sipper with a good toffeeish Irish whiskey while emphasising the nuttiness of the Heering alongside...
A lot going on here - Heering is the most prominent, but the walnut liqueur (I used Nocino) is also potent, and while the PX doesn't hit you over the head like the cherry and walnut, it contributes to the high sweetness quotient. Irish whiskey is almost forgotten in the background, but it is appropriately supportive of the other, stronger flavors while providing most of the abv. A bit to sweet for me, but a nice idea.
