I tried 2 versions - one with Cynar as per the recipe, and one with Sfumato (a rabarbaro amaro). Both had the same result - the amaro leads the nose and initial taste, then yield to the port and scotch briefly, before the bitterness of the amaro rushes back and dominates the finish. Good, but not great.

made it with nardini submix (averna2 : cynar2: fernet1) instead of only cynar cause the comments weren't very positive about it. And i really like it, though the scotch does really die and only leaves a slight malty feel, ruby port and the nardini submix plays very well together.

All I get is Cynar, no Scotch or Port.

Was ok, the ruby port didn't come through much. Felt masked by the amaro
