I made mine with El Tesoro Reposado, Lustau Peninsula Palo Cortado, Cruzan Black Strap, and Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao. I thought the sherry was too strong at the first sip but gave it a few minutes and I started to taste other things. After that, I was getting a much better balance of flavors when drinking the rest of the cocktail. I guess I just needed to acclimate but it's a very delicious drink! It has lots of complexity to it and I'd be happy to make it again in the future.

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.

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.
