Delicious! The cocchi does indeed add excellent body to this, and the other ingredients blend harmoniously. I was particularly surprised how subtle the chartreuse element was in this.
I love a Last Word, but I really liked the combination of whisky, Chartreuse, and lime flavors! I used a light blended Scotch instead of the Irish whiskey and dry vermouth instead of Cocchi. My version needed a bit more body (Cocchi would have taken care of that). A bit of Luxardo would have been a nice addition for me. I think it is time to get some Cocchi and try the proper recipe!
I've been using the name "Famous Last Words" for a last year or so for a drink consisting of equal parts; Islay Scotch, Yellow Chartreuse, Aperol, and lemon juice. I suppose I need to think of a new name now.
