Review and Tasting

Sampled on 23/11/2015

Appearance:

Clear but almost opaque, deep brown. Some sediment on bottom of bottle.

Aroma:

Pungent liquorice with faint wood smoke.

Taste:

Bittersweet and intensely liquorice flavoured with light smokiness and faint aniseed.

Aftertaste:

Long lingering liquorice bitterness.

Overall:

Very intensely liquorice flavoured, so much so that you'd have to be a bitter liquorice fiend to enjoy this liqueur neat. However, in cocktails the intense liquorice favour makes for an interesting ingredient.
