I generally prefer bitter, herbal profiles.
But in this cocktail, it's better to switch the proportions of Bianco and Cynar. Too much Cynar will ruin the drink if you're using a good gin. If you're using a cheaper gin like Beefeater or Gordon's, stick with 22 ml of Cynar.

Better than I expected.
A simple and great fruity drink, vodka is exactly for that.

Always prioritize using the actual fruit if possible.

Unfortunately, it didn't blow my mind. Still, it's a 4-star rating. But for the same price, I would prefer a better aged rum or just a bourbon.
I'd say it's good enough to drink neat, or to make an Old Fashioned, but there are better aged rums.
But in Brazil and other places in South America there aren't many options.

I honestly prefer this one to the 101 for drinking neat.
I recommend the 81 for those who want a less sweet bourbon, with a more herbal and earthy taste, and for drinking neat.

Does anyone have any particular recommendations on how to drink this gin? A cocktail or just pure? I'm afraid most vermouth and tonic will ruin it.

It’s a very good bourbon, far from being harsh or unpleasant in its heat, as many claim.
On the rocks it’s quite smooth, but I recommend drinking it neat to really appreciate its characteristics.

I believe some of the criticism directed at it comes purely from people who only like bourbon that is overly sweet.

I personally prefer it with Orange Curaçao instead of Triple Sec.
Anyway, it's an easy and very good cocktail.
