“How is it?”

“It’s a bit syrupy, but good.”

The Verdict: Good

From The Tasting Notes:

Tastes like a syrupy version of a Manhattan. The texture of the Benedictine gives it a thickness. Has some depth to it, without being overwhelming. I really have started to enjoy Benedictine, and I would drink this over a Manhattan. Would probably pair well with a cigar.
