A decent enough drink but not at all as the name suggests.

I tried it with the Wild Turkey 101 that Simon has listed in his notes. I prefer it in this cocktail to some more expensive bourbons I had tried. Surprising how well the Chartreuse and Aperol work together. Dolin Genepy works fine if you have a limited supply of chartreuse.

Made two half-size versions. The first, too much Suze. Second shake, shifted the balance 10 ml Suze, 20 ml Chartreuse. So much better. (11 Dec 2022, 4:09a)

Good suggestion. Let’s the Chartreuse shine through a little better.

The absinthe seems to dominate, so I dial it back to 15 ml and quite enjoy it.

The Last Word is one of my favorite cocktails, but I find this to be superior. I stick to the specs and feel it benefits from a good long shake. I have tried it with more expensive Irish whiskeys but find regular Jameson works quite well. Excellent work Mr. Difford.

Quite good. I dialed back the honey syrup on my second mix and found it more to my taste.

Very nice!

Just tried this with Rabarbaro in place of the nonino. Pleasantly warm and spicy, like a crisp autumn day.

I tried this sub. Quite nice.
