Judicious dashing of orange bitters and hitting the correct dilution will make or break this drink, which is a fine balance between aged rum and rich cherry...
Beautiful and smooth evening sipper. Everything works perfectly. A hint of sweetness, but then the bitter. The herbal of the sherry and the rich flavours of the rum. I used 1/2 overproof gold rum and an 8 year old gold. Went perfectly watching a concert of Elgar.
Lovely sipper that perfectly strikes a balance between rich sweet ness and nutty sherry minerality. Collour and flavour are incredibly pleasurable. Year round sipper as the ice helps cut the richness.
