Review and Tasting

Sampled on 10/05/2020

Appearance:

Clear, coppery amber with golden highlights.

Aroma:

Elegant tobacco and oak with bright zesty orange, dried fruit and faint candied ginger.

Taste:

Voluptuous palate with zesty orange-infused cognac. Layers of flavour reveal woody tobacco, dried fruit and zesty acidity.

Aftertaste:

Warming and satisfying zesty orange cognac.

Overall:

Perhaps more a delicately orange flavoured cognac than an cognac-orange liqueur, but with more than 100 grams of sugar per litre this is most certainly a liqueur - a very special liqueur. Best enjoyed neat at room temperature at end of an evening in place of fine cognac or single malt.
