Had no Chartreuse, used Liquore Strega and Dolin Génépy split 50/50. Exceptional!

Sounds worth trying! I’m out of Chartreuse and the price is crazy these days! After the “great Chartreuse crisis of ‘21” the price gouging buggers have never dropped the price back down again. 😡

Chartreuse is really overpowering. As hard as I try, can’t taste whisky.

There's just too much of it in this recipe. See my comment above.

i think you usually pick irish and canadian whisky for mildness

We are Last Word(and variations) connoisseurs, but I think, this is one of the best cocktails by Simon Difford. It is really exceptional. Thank you!

An all time favourite. Easy five stars.

I'm making this tonight in honor of Shane MacGowan's death. Seems appropriately named, and appropriately boozy. Delicious too!

Simply fantastic. A regular favorite of mine.

A few months ago, I would have considered this cocktail excellent. After these few months on Difford's guide, my expectations are much higher. Impressive work.

For those fearful of the quantity of chartreuse in this recipe, your bravery will be rewarded when trying this recipe!! Chartreuse is an acquired and intense taste. Personally, I am apprehensive of any recipe that calls for more than 15 mL of the stuff. However, I tried this recipe on a whim because it stood out from the vast array of Manhattan or old fashioned riffs when searching for rye nightcaps. This is going in my “best of” cocktail notebook.
