Tastes like Fernet branca with sugar syrup.
Didn’t want to throw away so I added lot of ice to balance sweetness.

Little too sweet for me, must try some of the variations.

Having tried your experiment, then the Nome original, both are quite moreish for those who savor herbal spirits and liqueurs. The Chartreuse is more apparent in the Gnome, but in neither does it dominate. At any rate, both are lovely. Adding this to my favorites right now...
