All Jacked Up
Yes, yes, yes, the name, "All Jacked Up" was inspired by the use of 100° proof bottled-in-bond applejack but I've committed sacrilege by using calvados...

I could see folks enjoying this, I'm not one of them. I enjoy harsh alcohols but this has a strange set of flavours together. Definitely has some apple flavour which was interesting. I used St Remi VSPO instead of Apple Jack. I did like the undertones from the fernet but overall, glad to have tried it, likely won't again.

Original and a rather complex evening drink. A bit of additional dilution makes it more pleasant.

This is a excellent aperitif. Instead of Calvados, used Laird's 86 applejack (86 proof - not quite the bottled-in-bond). Wonderful blend of falvours. A little bitter with the lovely after taste of apple. WOW.

Mezcal and Fernet can technically go in the same glass, not sure if they should though...
Surprisingly still get a little bit of apple.
54 proof but feels like 80-100.
