History

Created in February 2023 by yours truly thanks to a comment on our Barney Barnato Cocktail page by a fellow Discerning Drinker called Ben who, due to sourcing issues, had subbed kina aromatised wine for Pineau des Charentes in the recipe. I like the dry quinine notes in the kina so I retained it in this rendition of the Barney Barnato with added Pineau inspired by Ben's comment. Many thanks, Ben.

Review

Delicate honeyed sweet notes are balanced by subtle quinine bitterness and spiritous spice, all laced with grape spirit.

That's an interesting and counter intuitive sub of Pineau for the Kina. But what a happy ending.
