Review and Tasting


Sampled on 03/04/2022

Appearance:

Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Elegant caraway, cumin liquorice, teak oil and spearmint.

Taste:

Syrupy mouthfeel is quickly taken over by powerful cumin spice, turmeric, cinnamon, aniseed and a peppery clove tingle.

Aftertaste:

Fades with lingering caraway, light clove-led spice and emerging chalkiness.

Overall:

Herbal, spicy, elegant and complex. Long one of the leading brands of Kummel for good reason.
