Went to my local Total Wine looking for an agricole (I do have better local sources, but convenience and my loyalty account rewards left me little choice) and reluctantly but confidently purchased this. Wow, was I rewarded. Amazing on its own neat. Effortlessly effective in my favorite 6:2:1 Daiquiri. Tweaked specs on repeat and loved the 4:1:1 and 5:1:1 versions. This was sublime in a Ti Punch. Bottle empty - gonna restock asap.
I'm overdue for buying a bottle. But, no, I've yet to try it,
I made this with St. George Valley Gin and Strega. The mint in my garden had medium-small leaves, so I used 7 not 2. Still not enough mint flavor. I did very much enjoy the drink, but a fruity gin is NOT the way to go. I will revisit this.
When I first tried this a couple years ago at my local, my first impression was that it tasted remarkably like Chartreuse... Finally bought a bottle today (12 Jul 2025) and tried it side by side with Chartreuse Verte. Though it's similar on the nose, the strength and peppery spice of the latter sets them far enough apart. I do agree that it'll sub in quite nice for Chartreuse Jaune. I'm not convince that it makes a mark in small doses in a drink. Do let it express itself.
