This is good, but not great. I too thought this would be something special based on the ingredients and proportions, but the calvados and sweet vermouth kind of work together to give this a "boozy" apple cider kind of back note, while the rest is a slightly harsher kind of alcohol presence in the sinuses that doesn't match up with the first part. It is a great autumnal flavor, that's for sure, but it's not one I think I'll be coming back to.
