Elixir China is a very traditional Nardini liqueur made by infusing cinchona calisaya bark, condurango bark, bitter orange peel, mace, coriander, cinnamon and cloves with grain neutral alcohol. Sugar is added but this is far from being a sweet liqueur.

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 25/01/2014

Appearance

Clear, deep amber with bronze glints.

Aroma

Apple pie, pastry, cinnamon and clove.

Taste

Earthy barky flavours and herbal complexity with muscovado sugar, orange peel, coriander, cinnamon and cloves. A faint smokiness pervades. A light sweetness amplifies the flavours and balances herbal/barky bitterness.

Aftertaste

Cinnamon and clove spice with lingering barky bitterness.
