On the nose, I find a nutty, floral, slightly wine-like, subtly leathery sweetness. The palette is bittersweet and intensely floral, very similar to parma violets. This transitions to much of the same in the finish, but with a slight walnut bitterness that complements the floral notes very well. Good value. I have only tried it neat, but this would be delicious in a negroni riff, and would likely be complemented well by a high quality citrus forward tonic. Drinkers of chianti wines will find this spirit familiar and delicious.
