Rothman & Winter Orchard Apricot Liqueur is made with juice from Austria's Klosterneuberger apricots blended with eau-de-vie produced from the same fruit
I don't have much else to compare it to. Yet to try the Giffard Abricot... This one is airy, floral, certainly ripe with apricot in the aftertaste. I mean, really vividly apricot... I'll keep seeking out new brands, but this one is a peach.
When you open the bottle it smells like fresh apricots. Not as sweet as some liqueurs as it is mixed with a apricot eau-de-vie. Have never gone wrong with Rothman & Winter.
