Created by yours truly in February 2015 and inspired by the Last Word entry in Ted Saucier's 1951 book Bottoms Up. Named after Frank Fogarty, a vaudeville performer known as The Dublin Minstrel. Fogarty is referenced in Ted Saucier's 1951 Bottoms Up! as introducing the Last Word to the Detroit Athletic Club around 1920, and is possibly the person the Last Word was originally named after.

A decent sipper, but I'll stay with a Last Word when I'm feeling flush with Chartreuse.
