I think this can be added to the "Spirit-forward" style.

I like this one very much. It was just a tiny bit too sweet for me, so I added 2 dashes of Angostura. Balances it out perfectly for me. I will try it with orange bitters next time though.

Very nice. A bit on the sweet side at first and then goes to dry. The almond taste is very nice and supports the other ingredients.

Fresh out of Martini Rosso so I substituted Dubonnet. Russell’s Reserve provided the backbone. Moreish.

I would rate this a 4 using your sweetness scale. Starts with the Bourbon flavor (Knob creek 9) but quickly switches to the sweetness of the Amaretto and Vermouth. Finishes slightly dry.

Thanks Miguel. I've moved from 6 to 5 on my sweetness scale so closer to your 4.

I felt it light on mouth-feel and sweetness. Will switch vermouth volumes next time.

I agree with Gillian, the Amaretto is a nice touch. Actually had all the ingredients, with Knob Creek bourbon, and Noilly prat vermouths.

Great balance , amaretto adds a touch of sweetness. My first bourbon based cocktail and it’s a pretty good introduction
