This is weird and delicious. I was surprised so many people said too sweet, although choice of bottles would certainly matter. I found it just a little sweet upfront but the lingering bitterness from all that Ango made it really interesting and more than balanced it out, in my opinion. Heavy baking spice and a fruity whiskey base makes it feel like a sipper for a winter fireside hangout.

I was concerned with the amount of Angostura which was used. Quite nice as written, but did find it a bit sweet. Added 1/2 oz more of rye and it was perfect. The original is balanced, but the enhanced was great. Liked the burst of flavours and the spicy hints from the bitters. Overall an outstanding evening sipper or nightcap.
