The flavor combination is good, and stands out as different from others - any fan of Manhattan variants should try this. But I like other similar cocktails better. It's good, but I don't think it is great.

Perhaps our new POTUS should try a few of these and calm down since he likes McKinley and his tariffs so much (sorry Simon I couldn’t resist). Great old school cocktail that is improved with quality ingredients. One and done for the day though.

Bizarre cocktail with flavors I didn't expect. Used Sazerac Rye and Vermut Lustau; Cherry Heering and spritzed the glass with local Vieux Carre absinthe. Chocolate mint and/or chocolate cherry cordial in spades. Quite impressed, oh my... (6 Jul 2023, 8:13a)

Wow. I used a California rye at 117 proof. Great cocktail. Slightly sweet, but not overwhelming. Great balance of flavours. Would have again.
