Thanks to the current spirits & cocktail craze, producers & importers have been unearthing ancient spirits that were nearly extinct. Sometimes they were extinct & have been brought back to life. And sometimes they have become terrible shadows of their original incarnations but are now being made in their more original glorious forms.

Apparently, there is historic precedent for a fantastic mint liqueur & these guys have nailed it. It’s a strange new/old world…
