Old Money No. 2
Best described as a nutty, delicately bittersweet Old Fashioned. A tasty digestivo or late-night sipper

Dear John (as the ladies sometimes continue to write...hopefully not in your case), since you once pointed me in the direction of a local retailer for an amaro that was eluding my grasp, let me try to return the favour. What you might welcome is either/or both a wine-based Noix Saint Jean Aperitif (Spirits of France will oblige); and/or a spirit based Nocino such as that produced downunder by Autonomy. Nocino will deliver a 'bigger' drink but we like the subtlety of the aperitif. Your call. Cheers.

Great suggestions. I picked up a bottle of Nocello in the course of today’s activities but it’s pleasant but not overwhelming. I’m sure your suggestions will prove superior.
