This is the first drink I made with sherry, where I tested both Oloroso and Amontillado, 2 of the most common "heavier" ones; The Amontillado won this time but I'll be sure to make something with the Oloroso soon. I don't know what took me so long to start using this stuff but I guess you get used to vermouth after a while...
Measure and pour the following into your trusty mixing glass (which you should have chilled slightly beforehand by stirring the lonely ice and straining out the water):
1 1/2 oz Appleton Estate 12 yr rum 1 oz Lustao Amontillado Sherry 1 oz Gran Duque D Alba Brandy de Jerez 1/2 oz Licor 43 1 barspoon St. Elizabeth AllSpice Dram 2 dashes Angostura bitters
Now perform your preferred stirring technique.
Strain into a Nick & Nora glass [if you're cool like me] and garnish with a lemon peel monstrosity like seen above.
