Light and fresh. Very easy to sip. The Chartreuse gives a gentle herbal undertone to what would otherwise be a simple daiquiri. Not complex, but very enjoyable.
Spirit led - you think you're drinking cognac, then the subtle sweetness, herbs and bitterness slide in to give a satisfying richness. I like it a lot.
The mezcal - cynar combination works brilliantly; with their smokey, vegetal notes supporting the fruity and herbal elements of the other ingredients. This is a mezcal riff with real body and depth.
Absolutely superb. Tasted this against bourbon and Scotch (piper plane anyone?) versions. Rye was the clear winner, adding interest whilst remaining very well balanced. Top 10 easily.
