Review
Not the most endearing of names but this spirituous late-night sipper has broad family appeal beyond just uncles, so long as they have a taste for bittersweet peaty whisky. OK, perhaps just the discerning among the family circle.

Genever adds its own complexity to this version of the classic Holland House. The sugar syrup is my 'optional' addition, but for me it's essential.

Perfect for after dinner or in the evening. We are enjoying while watching a concert from the Verbier Music Festival from Switzerland.
It is sweet as I would expect this type of cocktail, but may take the vermouth down a bit.
Pair with the movie Tombstone.
So good I made a second one.
