Tasted Neat: Deep honey lingers long after sipping. Nut skin with simmered fruits. Cherry is light. A bit like sipping liquid gold. Lemon peel. Full and rich. Virtually no burn at all.
Tasted Neat: Extremely sweet. Almost like straight flavored melted sugar. Lots of apple notes. No burn. Just sweetness of apple. No tart or zing. More honey overlaying the caramel inclusion.
Original recipe is a shot and calls for equal parts cherry liqueur, amaretto and bourbon. This renders an exceedingly sweet shot / drink, like many shots lean toward. However, amending the recipe creates a lovely on the rocks sipping drink.
