While it's been a bit since I've had this one, based on my notes, I wanna say the Carthusian Nail has a better ratio of the same ingredients.

Fairly sweet, but there's a nice bitterness from the Chartreuse to help balance it on the back-end. Interesting, complex flavor.

I had to up the whisky to a full 2 oz to counter the sweet & stand up to the GC.

Really nice variation on the Rusty Nail; the Chartreuse brings both an herbal quality and a bite that cuts through some of the sweetness--and it is very sweet. I modified the measurements in line with my preferences for a 4:1 ratio in a Rusty Nail: 2 blended scotch (I used Monkey Shoulder), 1/2 Drambuie, 2 bar spoons Chartreuse. Serving on the rocks is a must.

Awsome.. This has a really direct old-fashion (bourbon) vibe to it on the pallet for me, I'm sure you can sub-in an orange twist if no lemons around.

Good, but very sweet, IMHO.

Le Rusty Nail

Great cock, sweet taste with an almost honey nutty finish balanced with the scotch. Would recommend
