Jokes aside 😂, I thought I didn't like Genevers after trying Bols' offering.
Rutte Old Simon Genever is in a completely different league and the high rating is well deserved.
This one's funky in a very good way that works. Will probably make it again.
The color of the cocktail is nowhere near the picture though. I used La Muse Verte Absinthe which is jade green. The finished cocktail was milky white with a very weak green tint.
If you like this one, try replacing the Drambuie with Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey. Wildly different flavour, but I can honestly don't say which one I prefer.
I've tried three different peated whiskies from Ian MacLeod, including this one and the non chill filtered version. What all of them share, is that they taste watered down... It's a big shame really, the flavour is good, but when it's so diluted it's not worth purchasing.
