Very intense, which I do prefer in a stirred drink. The Fernet is surprisingly prominent, perhaps accentuated by the Strega substitute for the Yellow Chartreuse. Also surprised by how the Sangue Morlacco sweetness seems muffled by the bitter elements (still detect its cherry essence though). The Toscano I just smoked is still heavy on my palate, so maybe my senses are too whacked. Adding this to my library nonetheless.
made this with bourbon and green chartreuse and was pleasantly surprised with the result, the aroma and taste were exquisite... will experiment with more smokey whisky next time
I wasn’t expecting to like this but tried it based on the positive comments. Pleased I did, very good indeed, an enjoyable sipper. Just curious, is this cocktail called Mad Men or Made Men?
