In Left Coast Libations page 33, this and Old Bill are attributed to Neyah White and not Joel Baker (who is the two pages before this with The Matador and Pear Sonata).

Shawn C commented on 2/16/2025:

Thanks, curated to correct creator.

yarm commented on 2/16/2025:

While Neyah was at Bourbon & Branch, it probably coincides with his later time at Nopa (2006-10) since Genever was hard to source before Bols launched their product in America circa 2007-08.

Shawn C commented on 2/17/2025:

I wondered if the bar would be the same, and assumed it was sometime between ~2008 and 2010 coinciding with Bols US genever launch. I have changed it to just San Francisco since the establishment of origin is not...established.

yarm commented on 2/17/2025:

That's fair since the book didn't list his place of work in the bio page opposite the two drink recipes. I believe that he had just left NOPA when it was published, but his LinkedIn only had NOPA down during the possible years after the launch and before publication.

  • 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.

Go a very small bit skosh on the lemon - it dominates slightly.

  • 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

Peppermary commented on 7/21/2020:

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

applejack commented on 1/01/2021:

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!

 

Jbrad9387 commented on 5/15/2017:

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

Zachary Pearson commented on 5/15/2017:

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

brimagick commented on 3/08/2024:

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

indyrob commented on 4/16/2024:

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