  1. Azzurro Aperitif

    Amaro — France

    Tasted
    4.0
    4.0 out of 5 stars
    Neon rose orange color--beautiful. Floral, orange, and sweet in the nose and mouth, and then bitter edge comes on in the finish. Medium light body. Similar to Aperol but lighter, less bitter. Drink as an aperitif or mix like Aperol in cocktails.

    4.5 out of 5 stars
    33% ABV, from Halki, Naxos, Greece. Made from leaves of the kitron tree (and other herbs) steeped and distilled in neutral wheat alcohol base. Like limoncello, but more herbal, not overly sweet, no alcohol burn. A beautiful clear local distillate with personality and craftsmanship.

    Metaxa is made by diluting aged cask strength grape brandy with muscat wine and botanicals (like anise, rose petals, etc). Each star represents a year's ageing. 40 ABV. Flavor of the five star is honey floral and fruit, wood with a ethanol bite (compared to the 7 star). Thin quick finish. Sip room temp or with ice.

  9. Hayman's Old Tom Gin

    Old Tom Gin — England

    Tasted
    4.5
    4.5 out of 5 stars
    Floral and juniper nose, juniper and herbal on the tongue. Very sweet through the finish, taking the bite out of the juniper and botanicals. Thick and rich and sweet, round and soft in the mouth. This is one to drink straight, with ice, but it also makes for an interesting twist on gin-forward cocktails.
