I found this far too sweet as written. The version on Kindred has twice the ratio of Bourbon to Amaro Lucano and Creme de Cacao. Those ratios create a much dryer drink with more space to appreciate the carmel and chocolate flavors.

Many thanks, Matthew. I have corrected to 2oz bourbon.

I agree! I’m a big fan of slightly sweet cocktails. Ala sweet Manhattan style. However, I found this a bit too sweet for my taste. Between the amaro and white crème de cacao and only an ounce of bourbon and walnut bitters to cut it. I added another ounce of bourbon as well. I do like it. But I still mark it as a sweeter drink. I think it’s a 6 now. A 5 as written.
