I don't find it Fernet-forward, but I strayed from the recipe. 45 ml Laphroaig Oak Select (not as bold as the 10 but still deceptively peaty). Also used Tempus Fugit dark creme de cacao and Cocchi di Torino. So, not to-spec and probably a touch too rich. Which brands did the creator use? I enjoyed what I made, but blended Scotch is clearly needed as well as direction with brand choice.

fernet and cacao just really works so well together, this is a brilliant concoction

One of those astonishingly unlikely recipes that turns out to be a bit of genius. Bravo to commenter A Fels.

It's a bit too Fernet forward. I'd scale the Fernet back to maybe 1.5cl or even 1cl.

On the learned counsel of C. Berggren I cut the Fernet back by 1 tsp to 1/2 oz (15 ml) and increased the blended scotch accordingly. There was no shortage of Fernet Branca influence on this surprisingly harmonious and well-balanced drink. Good call!

Pleasant if rather peculiar.
