- Very good. A full half ounce of Islay sounded a bit much for a float; a barspoonful is fine.
- 1/2 Chartreuse and 3/4 Nonino. Loved the balance with the smoke from the Islay. May try again using Yellow Chartreuse.
- I preferred the modified version without the Scotch float.
- Swap the proportions for the Chartreuse and Nonino, and try it without the scotch float.
- Found myself eager to get through the float to the other flavors.

This has a lot in common with Sother Teague's C.I.A. I really enjoyed it tonight. I agree with the other comment, and I think I would swap the proportions of the Chartreuse and the Nonino, and I'm not sure the Islay float is doing enough. Even so, this is definitely going onto my list.
