Definitely on the sweet side of the tracks, which kind of makes sense with two liqueurs plus maple syrup. If you like apricot liqueur this will be up your street!
I made it with a Dry Limoncello by Manchester’s Mouse Kingdom which made it a nicely balanced drink of bitter/sweet and orange and lemon. I would imagine a traditional limoncello would make it definitely on the sweet side. A good alternative to a traditional Negroni.
I used a couple of English ingredients for this one. Burnt Faith Brandy and Mouse Kingdom’s Dry Limoncello (plus Cinzano Rosso and Bitter Truth Bitters)
Initially dry but opens up as you drink. Deep cognac flavours and deep lemon make it interesting. I’m not sure I needed the bitters but an extra 5-10 ml of sweet vermouth wouldn’t go amiss.

Adding a 10ml float of Wray & Naphew Overproof Rum works well.
