A very nice profound mouthwatering cocktail that gives the bourbon accentuated aromas of coffee, nuts and spices.
A weird combination that turns out somehow to be extremely surprising and tasty.
The only thing I changed is toning it down with the absinthe - from 3 dashes to 1 dash, in order to keep the herbal notes as an extra, rather than let it dominate the cocktail. 3 dashes of absinthe make it a bit too strong to my palate.

Yep this works
subbed out Galliano for Mr Blacks but had everything else
a powerhouse of a drink and very enjoyable although ordering this in a bar would probably be problematic

Had this in the evening watching a concert. Yes, there are a lot of ingredients, but they all add a unique flavours and hints to the cocktail. The salt is great as it enhances the end of each sip.

I think they should rename it the "Kitchen Sink" as it has so many ingredients. ;)

I really liked this. It has depth and complexity. I used Frangelico, as I had no walnut liqueur, and added walnut bitters. Thank you, Simon - a new favourite.

Great news. And good to hear Frangelico works well as a sub in this cocktail.

Made again last night and it has really grown on me, deep and complex and definitely different, it is unique and I really enjoy the coffee and nut tones. I've been pondering the addition of either walnut or orange bitters, but for now it's a very good recipe.
