Appearance: Creamy with a very faint pinkish/brown tinge. Thick legs.
Aroma: Nutmeg, fresh-baked cinnamon rolls, a tinge of vanilla and malted milk.
Flavour and texture: Creamy and sweet on the arrival with an unmistakable nutmeg and cinnamon flavour. Not unlike spiced milk (but better). The texture is rich and creamy, but not at all cloying or oily. The palate fades fast, and it's very addictive.
An interesting liqueur - it's essentially a cross between an herbal and a nut liqueur with a very creamy texture. This derives from the use of tiger-nut meal (think almond milk and you're not too far off). The direct inspiration is horchata.
Imagine a glass of refreshing almond and rice milk, slightly thickened and sweetened, laced with a very satisfying mix of baking spices and rum and served ice cold on the rocks. It's a successful pseudo-dairy liqueur which is not only very tasty but also suitable for those with a lactose intolerance! The nut-meal milk texture makes it both thick and satisfying but also crisp and refreshing, without the fatty cloyingness of milk. If you like Bailey's then give this a try - you won't be disappointed and may just convert.
