Review and Tasting


Sampled on 29/08/2016

Appearance:

Clear, light rusty red with bright glints.

Aroma:

Zesty orange and grapefruit with underlying herbal notes.

Taste:

Light and subtle, bitter sweet and zesty with bitter orange, grapefruit sherbet and herbal rooty complexity. Faint clove spice.

Aftertaste:

Lingering orange and grapefruit light bitter zestiness.

Overall:

As bitter Italian aperitivos go, Peychaud’s is on the light side – slightly drier and rootier than Aperol but much tamer than the likes of Campari. Low in alcohol, this is a middle of the road crowd-pleasing Aperitivo.
