  • A++ would drink again.
  • Sacrilegious, I know, but I think I might like this one more than the Last Word. Not as challenging, but also not as cloy. Definitely not as pretty.

  • Next time use a less assertive coffee liqueur than Galliano. Rye spice and dark fruit from the Cognac/PX. Milk chocolate gestalt. Good, but less interesting than the ingredients imply. Try again with a better fit for the coff

I enjoyed this as an after dinner sipper. Some dilution from the ice is good.  

I agree with a previous commenter, I found this a bit less interesting than the ingredients might suggest (and these ingredients are right in my wheelhouse).  In fairness I used Bittermens mole bitters instead of the Aphrodite, but they're reasonably close.  And while no brand was specified for the coffee liqueur, I used St. George's NOLA coffee liqueur.

I also found it to have a vague milk chocolate note but to otherwise be a pretty standard split base old fashioned, and I wasn't really able to pull apart the individual flavor strings of the various modifiers like I had hoped.  It was certainly pleasant, balanced and eminently drinkable, if not particularly memorable.

What type of Scotch did you use in this? Highland? Islay? I tried it with Pig's nose and really enjoyed it. Just curious, thanks!

 

What does it mean when (fat) is after the peel or twist?

When describing a twist, "fat" means to use a larger percentage of the width of a vegetable peeler to remove a strip of the peel. Thanks,  Zachary

A bit unbalanced (made to spec). I'd consider doing equal ratios mezcal/tequila, to give the mezcal/smoke some additional room to shine.

Tried as original, subbed out agave for orgeat. Muddled a slice of blood orange and like it better this way.
