Review

A literary riff on a Corn'n'Oil - elementary but tasty. As the ice melts and dilutes this cocktail so the falernum notes amplify and the cocktail mellows and opens.

A great evening sipper. Amazing how just a little falernum can smooth out the extreme smokiness of Islay whisky

Really nice and boozy. The whiskey bitters make a difference. I resisted buying some because of the price it is very much worth it.

Outstanding. You must use a good Scotch Whisky with this one. Very spirit forward. Falernum and bitters add lovely hints of additional flavours, but it is all about the Whisky. Perfect before or after dinner.
