Very interesting combo - didn’t quite come together for me, but could be down to choice of ingredients? I used Perro e San Juan, Glamorganie, lustau PX, Oldesloer kümmel (only one Ive been able to get). No liquorice bitters so a small dash of fernet branca. I added a dash of cognac which seemed to make things more harmonious. Interested to hear others’ thoughts…

Still can't find any kümmel in Seattle.

Thanks for bringing this back to my attention. I have some really nice akvavit so might see if I can fettle something along the lines of this recipe.

Yah as usual with anything slightly unusual I had to buy online, and could only find one lonesome brand available here 🙄. And I suspect it’s not the best example of its kind, tho I haven’t tried others to compare - I like caraway flavour, but was broadly underwhelmed by this product. Good luck with your hunt for Fine and Rare Spirits!
