The blend of cask strength bourbon, aged Demerara rum, and Islay scotch form a flavorful and high octane base with notes of caramelized sugar, molasses, honey, and subtle nutty and smoky flavors that help highlight the coffee (liqueur and bitters) and maple (syrup and bitters) additions to the drink. A lemon twist adds a bit of pleasant, citrus-forward essential oils that add a bit of freshness to each sip

.5 oz Aged Demerara Rum (El Dorado 8 year, Hamilton Demerara 86, etc)
