Rich Spanish cream sherry, pungent Jamaican rum and Italian bittersweet amaro are unlikely bedfellows but combine harmoniously in this late-night sipper.

Excellent with Smith & Cross and amaro Santoni. Especially as the ice melted.

Really enjoyed this - good enough that I think I may need to permanently keep a half bottle of cream sherry about the house.

A very good drink indeed. Don't skip the orange twist on this one, it really elevates and brightens the drink.

That is a /very/ interesting taste. It is, as you expect, Jamaican funk but that closes to the sherry notes I still to this day associate with my great-aunt's trifle. A lot less bam bam bam rum funk than I was expecting.

Well, I made this with an olorosso sherry from Sainsbury's, something labelled 'Jamaican rum' I found in my in-laws booze cabinet and 'Fernet Hunter' which kind of tastes like a reined in, drinkable, angostura bitters. Which probably makes this a completely different cocktail, but hey, it came out quite light and dry and fresh, so I'm happy. Maybe it's a 'Nonbloom'
