Bright and rich. Bourbon was definitely the right choice and my gut feeling would be to avoid ryes, scotchs, and single malts. I recommend an essence of lemon on the rim of the glass
Absolutely fantastic. Rich, complex, and easy to drink. I used a vanilla extract wash instead of Monin vanilla syrup, I don't know if that significantly changed the drink. Highly recommend.
This is good but if don't like fernets you won't like it. Has a frontal liquorice taste from the fernets followed by fruit taste from the with a minty taste near the end. The rum and apricot are there but seem to just be an overall undertone. Overall not for me but worth tweaking and having fun with it.
