Colour: Russet gold, like dark amber. Aroma: Honey, spices (clove, nutmeg, caraway), citrus peel (orange, lemon) and numerous herbal aromas (anise, sage, thyme). Flavour & Texture: Sweet in the arrival with the honey and fruit notes from the nose immediately apparent, and these are followed by mild spice flavours. The aftertaste is pleasant and the sweet arrival is gradually replaced by a very gentle citrus and herbal bitterness, which is a nice balance. The texture is light. The nose is complex and dominated by three things: honey, citrus peel and spices. The palate is the same and overall this liqueur reminds me of spiced mead or the spiced apple-wine you find at some European Christmas markets. The texture is light rather than syrupy and together with the relatively low alcohol content that also makes the liqueur seem more like a spiced fruit or honey wine. I'm enjoying the bottle I bought but I don't think I'd bother buying it again. “Good” : 84/100 (3.75 stars)
