  • Untried as of yet.
  • Made with Beefeater and Norseman Olympia. A little celery flavor pops up among the flowers and herbs.
  • Milder than Last Ward
  • The very rare attempt to improve on an classic that actually delivers. More balanced than the Last Word and, honestly, I think Elderflower is just a better choice than Maraschino.
