Delightful. For our tastes would drop off the syrup entirely (only used half). Liked the combination of the rum and amaro. Amaro and bitters add some peppery hints. Perfect in the late afternoon/early evening or after dinner.

I used Amaro Toscano, which seems to be in the lighter as the vein of Montenegro (and I didn’t want to haul out the Nonino). Meh. Just like fortified amaro.
As to the pronunciation, unless there’s a reason you want me to say it wrong, it’s simply “mah-lah-GAY-nyah.” No “goo.”

A great way to enjoy Montenegro and rum which is a stellar combination. The bitters are spot on. For my taste I might dial back the agave to a bar spoon instead. For fun I flamed my orange zest. Cinnamon, vanilla, and the amaro round this one out nicely. I look forward to trying this one with other aged Rums.

The rum still pleasantly dominates, despite the generous helping of Montenegro. Enough sweetness to round the whole thing out. Worth a try.
