Quite sippable, not really so intense as some have indicated. Rye and Mezcal fight for dominance, with Averna somehow bridging the gap. Aperol lends bitter orange notes that tie together the garnish (originally flamed orange oil, as I understand) and the Amaro, with a bit of sweetness on the back end that ushers in the Elderflower ever so subtly. The ingredients are all keeping one another in check miraculously, but the cocktail somehow lacks a cohesive flavour.
