The Last Word was my first love, and continues to be without a doubt my favourite cocktail.

I can't really taste a *huge* amount of the malt-y flavour of oude genever over gin, but it's subtly there. I can't say "oh this is definitely better than a regular LW" but it is still about as perfect as drinks get.

Delicious. Green Chartreuse is one of my favourite liqueurs. Mixes outstanding with the Luxardo and Genever. Nice hint of lime. Perfectly balance for before dinner.

I noticed this is almost identical to the Latest Word - except the splash of water in the Latest Word earns it an extra half a star in your ratings! Are they both Simon Difford originals?
