barley & gold

2 oz Irish Whiskey (Teeling Small Batch)
1/2 oz Salers Gentian Liqueur (Suze)
1/2 oz Carpano Bianco Vermouth (Dolin)
1/8 oz Tempus Fugit Crème de Banane
1/8 oz Yellow Chartreuse
1 dash Saline (4 drop 20%)

Stir with ice and strain into a coupe glass.Another drink that I had spotted in the 2020 Community Cocktails book put out by the Seattle bartending community was the Barley & Gold by Adam Aly at the Stampede Cocktail Club. The Irish whiskey, vermouth, and gentian liqueur combo was one that I have enjoyed since the Second Wife at Local 149 back in 2013, so I was game to give one with blanc vermouth and light accents of banana and Yellow Chartreuse a go. In the glass, the Barley & Gold showcased a herbal and floral bouquet. Next, a semi-sweet sip flowed into whiskey and gentian herbal flavors on the swallow with a hint of banana on the finish.
