The Laphroaig Project (au poire)
Since I’m diddling on a theme tonight, I decided to toy with Bourbon & Branch’s Laphroaig Project, substituting a half-ounce of St. George’s Poire Eau de Vie for the yellow chartreuse and peach bitters. It was a lovely drink, but still missed some fruitiness…I added back the peach bitters and wow, that’s really phenomenal: smoky, sweet, sour, and fruity combined in all the right ways.
