I didn't have pickle brine so I used 2 dashes of apple cider vinegar, but still: holy crap this drink is amazing. Delecate light flavour, but weirdly also very round and hearty. An absolute joy.

Made a Negroni with Punt e Mes, Galliano Aperitivo and Botanist and wasn't sold. Then read the text about pairing it with bitter chocolate and added a dash of house coffee-chocolate-olive bitters. Became a stellar drink.

I like it. Made it with Clontarf which turned out actually quite mild. Next time I'd go for a Green Spot or Redbreast, because you need a full flavour. The butter biscuit / vanilla note of Irish whisky in combination with the lime tartness is reminiscent of a Key lime pie.

For me, better than the Paper Plane.
