My Uncle liked Crème de Menthe I think he would have liked this.
Obviously it’s minty…
There’s more to it, toned down mint with the sweet liqueur mouthfeel reduced with more ‘hard’ spirit in there.

Far better than it has any right to be given the odd combination of ingredients. The Jamaican rum rinse is an inspired choice. Don't care for stingers but this is a great nightcap.
