Call me Ish

Equal parts American whiskey, Spanish brandy and Italian amari produces an incredibly complex, spirit-forward, bittersweet Manhattan-like cocktail

Made with Old Bardstown BiB, Cognac Leyrat VS, and Regan's No. 6... It's certainly distinctive. And the high-proof bourbon cuts a sharp, spicy top note which, to me, seemed to tame the underlying sweetness a little but perhaps not enough.

Normally do not like cocktails which are considered sweet, but loved this. After reading the comments, decided to use Amaro Montenegro which made the final cocktail pleasantly balanced. Great after-dinner or an evening sipper.

Sweet. Nice for after-dinner.
Glad to have a use for my Meletti.

2/5 Used Cognac instead of Spanish Brandy. It is a bit sweet and cloying toward the end as the drink warms up. Truth be told, it just does not have many layers of depth or complexity. Like a bland black manhattan, adding more bitters: aromatic, chocolate, anything to help cut the sweetness. Serving over the rocks would also help.
