I made this with a shitty blended scotch (Mash Cut), no peated scotch, and Dolin sweet and I swear to god the aftertaste was Kielbasa. I probably won't make this again unless I have much higher quality ingredients.

Nicely well rounded, boozy cocktail. Warming and richly flavored. Sweet, but we’ll balanced.

So I gave this one a try… Did not have all at home. So I used Punt e Mes for Vermouth; Italian Mirto for Cassis. Perhaps quite different from this cocktail, I ended up with a delicate one that I, in any case, liked.
