Hercules Mulligan Rum & Rye

For what it is, it's okay. But you can easily just make a cocktail like this at home. The bitters are doing a lot of work here, and it's hard to taste the spirit in the body.

I'm sorry, but I this combination is wildly different. The bottle is floral giving it scents of lavender, dry rosemary, then it transforms into warm ginger candy with baking spices of allspice, clove and vanilla. The taste continues the confusion. The first sip is reminiscent of fruit snacks or a fruit roll up. Overly sweet candy that borders on becoming a liqueur. Wouldn't go back for more.

A pretty tasty old fashioned. A little sweet for my tastes. But theres a a depth or richness which is yummy.
