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.
I didn't quite have all of the ingredients, but what a lovely drink! I will be putting this into the rotation (at least until I use these* up)... Brands I used: Giffard Creme de Mure*, Bond St. London Dry Gin, Cocchi Americano, Vecchio Amaro del Capo*.
