Tasting Notes
"This floral liqueur is violet through and through, beginning with its deep purple-blue hue. On the nose, it’s intensely floral and sweet like a violet candy. The palate is softer than expected, but still intensely sugary and violet centric. The liqueur coats the palate and lingers, evolving into a slight richness, perhaps from the brandy base. A little goes a long way, but used in moderation it can transform and add a unique hue, flavor, and richness to cocktails like the classic Aviation."
