Bourbon sweetened with maple syrup, soured by lemon and made more complex by vermouth

Tried this again, not realizing I never rated it. Wild Turkey 101, Punt e Mes, and a dark robust maple syrup my brother got in Vermont in an interesting multi-grade syrup pack... played with the measures, and I feel that reducing the Punt e Mes to the same measure as the lemon and maple is the best move. It's still not an ideal marriage. Very brand, quality, and character dependent as far as the bourbon and maple. The robust maple might pair best with Woodford Double Oaked.
