maiden voyage

1 1/2 oz Mezcal (Convite Essencial)
1/2 oz Fino Sherry (Lustau Manzanilla)
1/2 oz Amaro Montenegro
1/2 oz Yellow Chartreuse

Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with ice, and garnish with a lemon twist. Two Wednesdays ago, I opened up the Bartender's Choice Volume 3 app and selected the Maiden Voyage by Brandon Bramhall at Charleston's Last Saint circa 2023. This one was different from the more tropical Maiden Voyage and is instead a bitter herbal stirred number; moreover, it shares more similarity with the Afterword with lime and sparkling wine in place of dry sherry. Once mixed, the Maiden Voyage sailed off to the senses with a lemon, honey, vegetal, and smoke aroma. Next, honey and caramel notes on the sip developed into smoky vegetal, herbal, and tangerine flavors on the swallow.
