As others have mentioned, a very well balanced cocktail. I was worried that the Licor 43 would overwhelm but my fears were unfounded. The addition of chilled water as recommended if using dry ice in my view is critical; the added dilution helps tone down the syrupy mouthfeel of the Licor 43.

Very balanced and interesting cocktail. The vermouth is surprisingly in the front, but quickly gives way to oak from the cognac and the apple and vanilla gives it all some backbone. At first I couldn't detect the pisco but it's there, playing second fiddle to the rest of the ingredients.

Delicious, but I’m a little wary to have two. It’s very boozy….. Oh go on then, I’ll have another one ?

I'm usually more into "minimalist" cocktails ( fewer ingredients) but I must say this was a very nice. Everything was nicely balanced. All the flavors combine very nicely, with the Calvados and Licor 43 being just slightly prominent. Very nice cocktail.

I tried it with vanilla Galliano and was well pretty boring. We, recently, found a bottle of licor 43 and it is a game changer for this cocktail. It is so much more complex and balance with 43 licor.

Interesting but dominated by Licor 43. I might try it again but with less Licor 43 (7,5 or maybe 10 ml?)

This was excellent. Its going to the top of the class.

Daron, Martell, and Barsol Qubranta all blended harmoniously in my glass!
