Review and Tasting

Sampled on 30/10/2022

Appearance:

Clear, pale coppery amber.

Aroma:

Toasted almond and battenburg cake.

Taste:

Dry and spiritous - not the sweet almond liqueur the nose might prepare you for. Toasted almond with delicate ripe cherry fruit. Sweetness is balanced by assertive peppery spirituous spice.

Aftertaste:

Amaretto-like almond with peppery spirituous spice.

Overall:

Reminiscent of a pre-mixed Godfather cocktail (amaretto and Scotch whisky). This liqueur has almond notes reminiscent of amaretto but with cherry fruitiness and assertive spirituous spice.
