Glenfarclas 25 - a little more dry than the rest of the range, not bad though

The best Aviations in my life are made by a bartendress who is 400 miles away from me. In the meantime, my recipe is here, Alter:

Ahhh...to be a bigtimer...sigh.

Thanks for the recipe, Hunts. It is basically the same as I have been using but with Plymouth Navy Strength and Hermes Creme de Violette.

I think it may be the Violette that isn't working...will try to source another brand.

Well, I'd like a bottle! This may interest you: http://spiritsandcocktails.wordpress...olette-heaven/ http://spiritsandcocktails.wordpress...ven-part-deux/ Separate links for each half of the article. IIRC, he likes the Hermes best (out of a tasting of 5 Violettes!!!!!), but notes that the Rothman and Winter makes a better Aviation. Whose Maraschino do you use? Have you considered that you may just not like the drink? ~ H
