Verpoorten original

A cream liqueur from Germany, crafted with fresh egg yolks, high-class distillates (brandy), sugar, as well as further high-quality ingredients. 1.3 million fresh Class A eggs are used daily in production. It has a delicate birth, while an egg yolk life led to a thick & chunky death of medium length with a touch of egg batter.

I think I know why nobody has reviewed this one yet. Advocaat is not what I would call popular in the US. Although I believe there is more of a following in Europe. Either way, I'm not sure I understand why anybody would really drink this neat, but I did and all I can say is stick to cocktails. The nose is bland, with a bit of egg but not exactly fresh, along with ethanol. The palate is worse, but it starts very creamy and silky until it turns quickly to artificial industrial ethanol. The finish leaves an unwanted and cheap metallic taste in your mouth. If I were just rating this on drinking it neat, it would be a 1 or less. However, it does actually make decent cocktails and brings some nice creamy and silky texture to a number of cocktails I tried. I will say though, if it's the main feature of the drink, there needs to be something that can keep it in check. As an accent or working in tandem with another spirit, it actually works pretty well. I'm not sure I would go out of my way to seek it out, but that is the only reason I rated it a 1.5.
