Aromatised, tamed bourbon with complex maraschino notes. Basically, a Whiskey Old Fashioned with maraschino in place of sugar syrup. Surprisingly dry...
I made this cocktail & it was not one of my favorites - until I finished it. But having done so, I don't necessarily trust my judgment - nor myself behind the wheel of a large automobile. I think the right proportions & dilution are key to this cocktail. Will try the sugared rim at some point, as it is very dry & the Luxardo was quite forward, especially on the nose.
