What is this? An OLD MONK CRAFT COCKTAIL?! (sorry for the caps, I was genuinely stunned to see an Old Monk cocktail which is supposed to be good). I duly made it with Old Monk rum as a result and it is... good. Not great. Could veer into too much sweetness at times, with the bite of the vermouth Amaro just about giving some balance. The molasses, treacly quality definitely comes through, alongside the herbaceousness of the rye.
