Appearance: Bright gold. Aroma: Toasted hazelnuts. Palate and Texture: Sweet nutty flavour, primarily hazelnut but with almond and vanilla tones in the background. Very sweet with a moderately heavy texture. A venerable liquor with an exquisitely one-note profile. This is full-on hazelnut juice, and lovely in its simplicity. However unlike many liqueurs this is not one that I enjoy neat. On its own it is overly sweet and it benefits greatly from dilution or use as a standout component. Take a jigger of this over a half glass of crushed ice, or pour it into unsweetened strong black coffee or add it to an iced cappuccino. Mmmmm. “Good” : 84/100 (3.75 stars)
