Recommend this as a home substitute - https://www.harveynichols.com/brand/harvey-nichols/3149799-old-fashioned-cocktail-700ml/p3567678/

Got a bottle from Santa, and it's nearly done already

Got a bottle of this, this morning.  Thanks for the tip.  Will report my findings.

The fact I haven't been murdered yet suggests this might have been at least halfway acceptable?

Yeah it was a 6/10.  Better than I can make myself but still not as good as what I can get by a decent cocktail maker.  Would get another bottle just to check.

When I first started bar work I hated doing cocktails but I don't mind them now, they can be reasonably fun* and people are usually interested in what goes into them. 

*Apart from Pornstar Martinis, I do not like making them.

I can do very good Mojito, White Russian, and whisky sour - my brother is a fiend for a well made Negroni, so I've yet to meet his high standards yet. My Pina Coladas are, for whatever reason, absolutely dreadful. 

Thoroughly enjoy a whisky sour (smokey whisky works so well and anyone who goes without egg is a deviant).

I am also a negroni fiend. It's all in the vermouth IMO. Punt E Mes ticks all the boxes for me, strong and bitter. The gin also makes a difference but as long as you have good vermouth with the campari you can carry most gins.
