About as complex as it gets, plus sweet and hot. If that sounds good to you, then you’ll love this drink.
I recommend the original spec of 1.5 rye, .5 each of Benedictine and Chartreuse. Definitely benefits from a long stir down (in which case, skip the water). The lemon twist is essential.
Agree that it could be served on a large ice cube with a shorter stir down

3:1 works very well, IMO. Very easy drinking and a nice change from an old fashioned.

I love a complex cocktail with a bunch of ingredients. This is not that and yet, I love it still. Simple but very effective. For a twist, I made another with a dash on absinthe and it was also really good.

Lots of room to experiment with ratios and your choice of whiskeys will have great impact on the finished product.
