History

Joaquín Simó made this delicious riff on the Diamondback for me when I requested something stirred made with Clear Creek pear brandy. Despite the relatively small amount, the pear dominates. Joaquín chose the Calle 23 Repo because it has a floral note that plays well with the brandy; its earthiness also grounds the drink's fruit character.

  • A bit bracing/astringent.
  • Dry but strongly fruity, with supporting notes of oak, earth, spice, and subtle floral tones. Good sipper.
