Ireland (Eire)
A blood orange flavoured liqueur made in Sicily with locally grown bittersweet Sanguinello oranges and lemon. A blend of three distillates made using copper pot stills, one made from the flesh of the oranges, one from the skins and one from lemons. It is sweetened with sucrose from sugar beets.
Solerno is packaged in a fabulously unique dumpy red coloured, bulbous bottle with a slender neck and a punt cleverly resembling the ribs of a citrus squeezer.
Review and Tasting
Sampled on 02/05/2011
Appearance:
Clear with a slight green/pale yellow tinge.
Aroma:
Orange skin and orange flesh with a hint of lime zest cordial.
Taste:
Slight oiliness the immediate citrus burst. Lime and orange zest acidity balances the syrupy sweetness.
Aftertaste:
Zesty citrus continues to develop through the finish.
