Origin

Created by bartender Joaquín Simó in New York around 2011, deliberately modeled on the Last Word's equal-parts structure — a well-documented modern lineage.

Flavour Profile

Good for someone who wants mezcal's smoke alongside genuine bittersweet complexity. Not for someone new to mezcal or Chartreuse.

Notes

Equal parts, easy to scale. No good substitute for yellow Chartreuse — worth seeking out. Pairs well with light savoury bites.
