Seasonal

I saw Dev Fogle's cognac-based "Splendid Splinter" on YouTube and gave it a try. Definitely tasty, but a lot of heavy flavours layered on top of each other. I decided to take it for a ginny spin and was very happy with the results.

Editor's Note

This gin-forward riff on the Splendid Splinter balances nutty orgeat with the vegetal bite of Cynar. A sophisticated, bittersweet sour that evolves with every sip.
