Found this far too sweet. Benefitted from 2 dashes of angostura bitters.

Lovely flavors but a bit punchy - benefitted from an additional 1/4oz of water in my opinion. Perhaps lengthier stirring would accomplish the same.

Made this with an amontillado rather than a fino and found it to be excellent - a well-balanced salty-sweet aperitivo. This strikes me as one ripe for bitters substitutions

Found this to be a bit boozy as formulated but truly enjoyed the accord between cassis and rye spice - certainly not something I would've ever thought to try.
