Genever! My father brought me a bottle of Av Wees Genever back from Amsterdam a few years ago, (I think perhaps as a mild joke? he’s not a drinker) and seemed startled when I raved about it and promptly ordered more. My absolute favourite for a gin Old Fashioned and I can see it would be great in a Martinez. I find most (standard) gins to be weak and oily these days. Dutch courage all the way.
What Pavel said... (I usually go with equal parts (45ml) Old Tom Gin (Hayman’s) & sweet vermouth, 7.5ml Maraschino (Maraska!) + 2 dashes Boker’s Bitters (Dr. Adam Elmegirab's))
I think you got gin and vermouth ratio mixed up...
