Very tasty way of enjoying tequila. I used 12,5 ml Hampden Jaimacan 8 yr rum and 20 ml Pedro Ximenez sherry (very plum-sweet sherry - thus skipped the brown sugar sirup). Rest as in recipe. The balance was quite right.

Everything here does blend together well. The sherry seems to predominate the flavours, but the others help tame it a bit. Not being a big sherry drinker this is a very good cocktail. I would say you need to like a strong sherry flavour to enjoy this one.

So I had some things to do and had to let the second half of my cocktail sit. The stronger flavour of the sherry does mild as the cocktail sits allowing the other flavours to shine.

Lustau Palo Cortado and Camarena Reposado came together to give an unpleasant raw green vegetable flavor. I’ll assume the two were just a bad combo. The drink weaved in and out of a deep funky cognac orange character and pungent raw vegetable. Very interesting but not preferred.

Sherry and tequila go so well together. Hints of sweetness from the rum, demerera, and brandy extend and fill out the flavour profile. Sophisticated and tremendously pleasant.
