Just had this again. It is just as good as I remembered. Excellent evening sipper. Does have hints of cinnamon and nutmeg in the background. I do like mine to be super cold and let breathe.

I love this. Very spirit forward with the herbal hints from the gin and Genever. The eau-de-vie adds a surge of spirits with the light flavour of pear.
This is not for the casual drinker. With the multiple ingredients there is a strong alcohol taste. If that is not your thing, this may not be your cocktail. However, it is on my favourites.
