Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I was beginning to think I would never find a use for my dust gathering bottle of Satan's Expectorant at the rear of my bar.
After over indulging at dinner, I resolved to try the proclaimed benefits of Fernet one last time.
This little diamond is a winner. The bitterness,syrup & sour combine nicely, riding the menthol wave over the earthy whisky (I had Rittenhouse B.i.B to hand).
A little reminder of that mouth rinse we get at the dentist's, but I'm not averse.

Didn't know what to expect from the ingredients. Never thought it would be drinking Germolene through a liquorice Rizla roll-up, but IN A GOOD WAY. Wild. 4.5/5.

I love this. I prefer bourbon based bevvies after dinner or late night sippers, and this fits like a glove.
I acquired a bottle of Amaro Meletti, on a discount deal, and it's caramel silkiness works perfectly in this too.
Top drawer. Thank you.

With Bepi Tosolini Expre bitterness wasn't an issue, a delicious after-dinner indulgence. Then, because I'm a terror, I had another with 5ml of Frangelico added. That was lovely too.
