I’m thinking of trying this with De Kuyper Butterscotch Caramel liqueur.

De Kuyper Butterscotch indeed worked well. Thank you!
Will be making this one again.

Should work well.

Having read Simon's inspiration I decided to add 4 drops of chocolate bitters and felt it was a marginal improvement, slightly more rounded.

Giffard Caramel Toffee Liqueur?! This is something I've never heard of, much less have in my larder. I understand why you do this kind of thing, and you do it continually, but your recipes would be tried more if you offered substitutes or how-to-make-ersatz-versions of uncommon ingredients. That way, if I liked the jury-rigged version, I'd be much more likely to go for the real thing - and Giffards would sell more. As it is, this recipe prompted me to make an Old Fashioned, period.

With all due respect, this site has a plethora of average-but-well-stocked-bar recipes. I too cannot make this cocktail, however I appreciate its inclusion.
One is always able to just scroll past to another drink that fits your personal bar on this (free!) site. :)

I created this cocktail after finding cute chocolate-covered garnish-sized gingerbread men for sale in Hotel Chocolat. I used Giffard’s liqueur, without their prompting me, due to its flavour. For our UK readers, Giffard Toffee is available directly from us for a mere £15.95. In the USA it’s available from Destination Beverage and others.
