Pretty great. The one that turned me on to navy strength gins. Good in martins or with soda. Great with a splash of water, but really shows it’s colors straight out of the (cold) bottle. Juniper, orange, thyme, a little sweetness. — 7 years ago
Prominent black pepper and warmth on the end. Smooth for the proof. — 10 years ago
Move over Cocchi and Lillet! This is perhaps the best quinquina vermouth I’ve had. It’s a good aperitif when served up or chilled, but the extra cardamom kick makes it a great cocktail ingredient. It makes a really good Vesper, but try it on a Bijou:
- 1.5oz navy strength gin (I used Krobar from Paso Robles, but Plymouth or Hayman’s should work great)
- 0.75 oz Green Chartreuse
- 0.75 oz ?! no. 73
- olives or cherries — 4 years ago
Good weight and flavor. Went well with a Sun Liquor's Gun Club (naval strength) Gin Negroni. — 9 years ago

Terrific Gin. Enjoyed with a variety of gin based cocktails. Despite the 57% abv. this is balanced tasty and smooth. — 3 years ago
