I'm looking forward to trying this one! I'm curious though, have you ever tried this with rum+cognac as the base rather than rum+rye? I've really like pairing rum+cognac since making Philadelphia fish house punch last summer.
This looks amazing . . . will try tonight! I've recently been experimenting with Allspice Dram in different drinks and it's really interesting (as long as you use a light touch!) Great in a toddy or hot buttered rum, or an improved rum old fashioned. I know I'll never buy spiced rum. I'm about out of Elizabeth and am about to crack open a bottle of the Hamilton, we'll see how it compares.
I liked it very much (better than a Vieux Carré any day). I substituted Carpano Antica for Cocchi because that's what I had and it worked. I'll try to get a bottle of Cocchi and re-try it out.
The drink is good, very good. But the name! *chef's kiss*
By the way, I happen to have Fee Bros Orange Bitters on hand, so I've been using that. I'm getting a bitter (almost acrid) aftertaste. Is that something you've experienced? Is that why you recommend a different Bitters in this drink?
Made this tonight—really nice. The Cocchi works better with the Allspice Dram than I anticipated.
Made this for my fiance with Sother Teague’s grapefruit bitters instead of the orange (which she isn’t fond of) and it turned out well!

Anyone ever made their own allspice dram?
