Carthusian Nail
A Chartreuse-influenced riff on the classic Rusty Nail

This is great with Johnnie Walker Black. A bit sweet up front, but the smoke and bitter herbal go a long way to balance it out. Nice work, Simon.

Honestly didn't think you'd notice much of the Chartreuse at all but that liqueur continues to surprise me. It's not hitting you over the face but it's certainly an herbal Rusty Nail. I like my Nails with less Drambuie though so next time I'll use something like 1.5cl, and maybe lower the Chartreuse a bit as well to keep it balanced.

not as bad as most drambuie cocktails... :D
