Nose - fennel, espresso, almond, dark chocolate, clove, vanilla syrup, barley sugar, mild ethanol burn. Taste - sweet licorice, dark chocolate, coffee, vanilla, barley sugar, clove, mild alcohol bite, finishing medium long with licorice, dark chocolate, and coffee flavors. I’m a complete amaro novice, so I was excited to see that @PBMichiganWolverine most graciously shared a sample of this with me. Interestingly, the company is headquartered right in my backyard, but I hadn’t heard of them until now. Let’s dive in. So my first thought when nosing and tasting this is that it slightly reminds me of Jäger at a lower proof, but better in every way. Move past the luscious, syrupy licorice and you’ll find silky dark chocolate and rich espresso. It’s a bit like Jäger mixed with chocolate and coffee liqueurs, but executed more masterfully than any of the component parts I’ve experienced previously. This is not a particularly complex concoction, but a delicious sipper nonetheless. Overall, this is great. I’m planning to pick up a bottle for myself, along with the handy Discovery Kit they sell, which includes samples of each of their fifteen liqueurs. I imagine this would serve as an excellent after dinner dram, or even possibly as a drizzle over ice cream.
