Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The nose reveals a complex interplay. Strong herbs evoke gentian, angelica, vermouth, and juniper. Dark berries, ripe plum, and dried cherry come to the forefront. Fine spice notes of cinnamon, clove, cardamom, and a hint of allspice blend with orange peel, bitter grapefruit peel, and a touch of cocoa. Gentle notes of caramel, honey, and brown sugar round off the bouquet, while a dry hint of oak and tobacco adds depth.
• Palate: On the palate, this herbal liqueur is full, dense, and yet elegantly structured. The 42% alcohol by volume carries the flavors powerfully but harmoniously. The first impression is sweet-spicy with ripe plum, dried plum, and dark berry jam. Quickly, an expressive herbal bitterness joins in, reminiscent of digestive bitters, gentian root, and vermouth, accompanied by licorice, anise, and a fine hint of mint. Cinnamon, vanilla, and a touch of nutmeg provide warmth, while the orange peel adds fresh tension.
• Finish: The finish lingers long, intense, and complex. The sweetness recedes subtly, while herbs, spicy notes, and dark fruits remain present. Light roasted aromas of cocoa and coffee emerge, paired with a fine bitterness that entices for the next sip.
