Used Martini Rubino. Kinda overpowered cognac. But I like the sweet and bitter taste of this cocktail.

This one got even tastier as it warmed up a bit.

I make a version of this that my friend calls a Froupe Carre. 30ml of cognac, rye, and sweet vermouth (prefer Remy, Michters, Carpano respectively), with the same 5ml of Bene and 2 dashes of Boker’s. It tastes a bit less candied and somehow the Boker’s seems to shine through more.

This will be my variation for next Friday if I remember. It sounds like it needs better branding.

1/6 in a jigger?

I have Simon's jigger and I could not live without it. Best one around.

Simon means 75ml / 2.5oz to the brim :)

Thought it was too sweet, even with some bitters

A little too sweet. Added a dash of angostura bitters to help cut through.

Agreed. I've added a couple of optional dashes of bitters accordingly.

The sweet vermouth takes away the grapiness of the cognac, whereas the cognac compensates for the sweetness of the sweet vermouth. A perfect balance. The taste of benedictine is more subtle and adds an overall smoother and rounder taste to the drink. Fine cocktail with a refined taste.
