Delicious. Based on some other comments, it sounds like Avallen Calvados is ideal for this since it has no added sugar. Sweet and sour up front, fading into a ton of herbal complexity with a little "bite" and a little bitterness on the back end.

Really good, although probably a bit sweet for my profile as well. I’m curious to see if I might like Chase Hoffman’s version better. However, I do know of some people that would gravitate to this sweeter version.

Excellent riff on a Last Word. It's a little mellower than the original and a little bit more complex but every flavor plays well together.

Exceptional Last Word riff. Liquore Strega works well here if you're out of Yellow Chartreuse. Do try!
