Review

You've almost certainly enjoyed the modern classic that is the Espresso Martini but switch the base spirit from vodka to aged grappa and you've an even more delightful drink. Grappa has a more intense flavour that does more than fortify, it stands up to espresso coffee's robust flavours to emerge triumphant in the finished cocktail.

Do you prefer this or the unaged grappa version as the ultimate espresso martini?
I cant get the Bepi Tosolinin Grappa can you recommend the closest out of these so I can make this cocktail in the best way:

Nonino Grappa Moscato Monovitigno
Sibona Grappa Riserva Old Barrel Aged Whisky Barrels
Sibona Grappa Riserva Old Barrel Aged Port Barrels
Nonino Grappa Vendemmia
Sibona Grappa di Barbera
Sibona Grappa Classica
Luxardo Grappa Euganea

I appreciate your opinion thank you!

I very much like an unaged grappa Espresso Martini but I think it's even better when made with an aged grappa. I've not made it with the grappas you list but Nonino has a good reputation and I tend to like everything the Luxardo family put their name to.
