Tried this a few times but the last version was a winner. Adnams Gin, dry Pellegrino Marsala superiore, noilly prat, disaronno, half a dash chocolate bitters and half a dash liquorice bitters. I will pickle some almonds for the next go.

Begs for an olive and/or brine. A rare Martini with layers and depth. Well done!

The best single word to describe the drink, ‘sophisticated’.
I used Lustau dry vermouth which gave a great balance to all components.

I used Hendricks, Dolin dry, sherry in lieu of marsala, and a tad too much amaretto (my mistake, I overpoured). Still very good, I think it would have been fantastic if I made it before drinking the Last Word....

Hi Simon, can you let me know where you get pickled almonds from? Have made this cocktail several times and I love it!

Not sure they are something you can buy. I think you have to pickle your own. Try with this cocktail at Bar Termini in London's Old Compton Street. Delicious.

Used Horsham Serpent Gin, Fantoma Vermouth, 10 YO Verdelho Madeira (as I didn't have Marsala to hand), and Adriatico Amaretto. So good!

Complicated and interesting!
