I made this with Speyburn 10, Laphroaig 10, DeKuyper (US) Creme de Cassis, & Carpano Antica. Given the high alcohol content, I opted to make it "on the rocks". Surprisingly not as boozy as I expected given the high alcohol content. Laphroaig 10 was well balanced; not too smokey imho. Angostura didn't seem too strong. Overall, a nice option if you're looking for a scotch-based whisky-forward drink with something atypical in the ingredients.

This is good, but it's pretty "rich" with the port, cacao liqueur, AND Galliano Espresso Coffee liqueur... I'm wondering if this would be a good one for Mr Black since it's supposed to be drier, so it might bring more balance?

Overall, I like this, but it's pretty sweet and the Douglas-Fir note is fairly prominent, so it can be a tricky "ingredient" to mix with... Citrus juice seems to be a (not surprisingly) common way to try to balance this in a cocktail/"mocktail".

What's with the Chartreuse measurement? 3.8 ml or 0.13 fl oz?
