Vieille Place
Spirit-forward and bittersweet, yet balanced and eminently drinkable. Reminiscent of an old-fashioned, but with the option to enjoy as an aperitif

Noting comments below re the bitterness. With the Suze and two different bitters, I def noticed a very definite (unpleasant) after tang of bitterness. I’d suggest go easy on the dashes of bitters; the Suze itself was well balanced. Can’t say this world be my favourite - I’d prob stick to a Vieux carré and have fun playing with individual ingredients 😀

On a revisit, did enjoy this. Compared to vieux carré it was drier and more distinctly bitter due to the absence of honeyed Benedictine. As an Affinity is to a Rob Roy. Not sure re difference to previous making, but I thoroughly enjoyed it this evening! Everything really nicely balanced Wild Turkey 101 and Martell Blue Swift, BT aromatic bitters which I’m really enjoying currently 😇🦄🌈🧸

Can't wait to try. Just revisited L'Heritage with Calvados. Very nice!
