I've never had Amer Picon or Picon Amer or whatever it is. Today I bought a bottle of 'American Picon' by the New Liberty Distillery in Philly. Used that and The Botanist and Luxardo Triplum (my fave) and the end result was particularly, bitingly bitterly amazing... I've been testing a variety recipes today after stocking up on some things. And this was the mic drop I needed.
