SrirachaSeahawk

Cointreau

Triple Sec/Curaçao — France

Reviewed July 5, 2021 (edited December 27, 2021)
3.0
3.0 out of 5 stars
The Bottle: I get the feeling that not much has changed since 1849 when this stuff made its debut. Instantly recognizable. It doesn't draw your eye the way a Bruichladdich would, nor does it just disappear into the backdrop like a bottle of Absolut does. It's something that your brain silently checks the box on as you scan a bar. In the Glass: Clear, but with a good viscosity. On the Nose: Fresh apple.... The orange on this is very forward, with a nice blend of rind and pith in the mix to keep it from reading like juice. There's a sugary coating on it, like candied orange peels. Very pleasing. Taste: Thick, sweet arrival. The orange announces itself on the development and finish. There's a faint bitterness on the finish that counterpoints the sweetness nicely and keeps the whole thing from becoming cloying. There isn't a ton of depth to this, but the quality behind it is evident. Very purpose-built for the flavor that they are going for. This would be a bit too sweet for me as a sipper, but on the rocks? Sure. In a cocktail? Absolutely.
