Using equal proportions in a Negroni Bianco results in something way too sweet and cloying, sort of like what happens with equal-parts red Negronis. I used more refined (2:1:1) proportions (cut the bianco vermouth to 3/4 oz) and, based on Discerning Drinker comments, added an absinthe wash in keeping with the absinthe in Meicher's red Quill cocktail. This should more specifically be called a Quill Bianco in recognition of its Bitter Bianco and bianco vermouth heritage. I like it better than the classic White Negroni, but then I've been a fan of Luxardo Bitter Bianco as a cocktail ingredient since it first came out.

Liked the cocktail, but found it a bit sweet for me. Reading the comment about the Quill, we then added three sprays of absinthe and stirred. Brought the sweetness down a bit and added another flavour.
I have to admit that a dash of absinthe or a float of 151 rum is my go-to fix for many cocktail. Two of my favourites.

I like the gin-forward aspect of this still easy-to-down concoction. But ingredient-wise, this feels like more of a riff on the Negroni Bianco, rather than the Quill. In that, the dashes of absinthe (absent here) is the surprise element, relative to otherwise the equal parts Negroni recipe.

Agreed. There's a link to Negroni Bianco under "Variant" above.
