This was great. Best Corn n Oil variation I've had. I'm planning on
trying and writing about a few variations soon. The Corn n Oil can be
a bit "thick". The Wray and Nephew cuts it quite a bit.

1 1/4 oz Gosling Black Seal (I used Cruzan Black Strap)
1/4 oz Wray Nephew White Overproof 63°
1/2 oz Forgotten Flavours Falernum (I used Velvet Falernum)
1 dash sugar syrup (quite a bit more, 1/2 oz?)
3/4 oz lime juice
Shake with ice and strain into an ice-filled old fashioned glass.
Garnish with two lime wedges.
