My ice is decidedly not wet. Should have added the 10ml water.

Nevertheless it was Exceptional!

A great Last Word variant - the yellow Chartreuse is the central player - chartreuse plus Benedictine initially, then a rush of lemon highlights new facets of the chartreuse flavor profile. Rye is somehow pushed to a backdrop, providing a nice, boozy and faintly (relative to chartreuse and Benedictine) spicy. This is delicious!

I've yet to have a cocktail with chartreuse (sadly hard to find) or Benedictine (thankfully readily available) that I did not like. This cocktail uses both and is excellent.

Very good cocktail that could go onto my top 20 list. Note that the titular town is also the location of the opening Battlefieldscene in the classic movie White Christmas.

This was a delight, and though I’m not a honey fan, I loved the experience of honey in the drink (via the Benedictine) which wound everything together beautifully. Too sweet, so I did add another 10mls of lemon juice and I highly recommend taking the “wet ice” or 10mls cold water seriously. A new fav, I think!

Each sip was a bit of a flavor adventure. Strong lemon upfront, which faded into honeyed rye whiskey, which faded into herbal notes, which faded into a slight bitterness on the back end, with lemon lingering throughout. I used Wild Turkey 101 Rye, Benedictine, & Yellow Chartreuse.

Every time you think you've gotten every possible flavour from last word variations, something surprises you. This tastes identical to a honey-lemon throat lozenge except endlessly better. As other commenters mentioned it is a little bit sweet, and I used 3 dashes of grapefruit bitters to produce an absolute delight.

In my opinion one of the best cocktail recipes I tried (without using some special ingredients). After being a devotee of Rittenhouse, this time I tried TX Straight Rye. Maybe the resulting cocktail is even better.
