Creme de Violette

Zach Pearson's Rose Window is a violette monster.

I finally remembered this drink at the same time a having a pineapple on hand. Not bad, I do like the way Violette and Campari play together. The color is amazing though, a really striking pale purple. Not something I would likely repeat, but I am very glad I finally got around to trying it.

When I purchased my bottle of R&W, it was the only kind of violette available in this area. Now there are quite a few other options. Since its time for me to buy a new bottle and since the first one lasted several years, I'm hoping I can get some guidance on which brand I should purchase next. I know for certain that besides the R&W I can get hold of Pages, Tempus Fugit, Bitter Truth, and I think I can find Giffard. I've searched for reviews online but they are few and far between and not always trustworthy. Any thoughts on the qualities of any of these labels that might suggest one over a repurchase of R&W? Thanks

I enjoy Tempus Fugit but I don't have much experience with other brands.
