Was looking to use up my bottles of pisco and limoncello and found this - what a wonderful surprise. Gentian is a bit hit or miss to me but I found this perfectly balanced here.

Slightly drier than I was expecting - but not in a bad way! A very nice sipper indeed.

This one commands your attention - the layered flavours are subtle and easy to miss if you're not truly savouring it. The next time I try it I'll try reducing the mezcal a touch, as it is more domineering than I'd like, but perhaps by not as much as 15mls. Maybe another couple of dashes of absinthe, too.

This shouldn't work. But it does. I may no longer go years between my Angostura bottles!
