Licor 43 Horchata

Herbal/Spice Liqueurs — Spain

Reviewed December 16, 2020 (edited August 8, 2022)
3.5
3.5 out of 5 stars
Appearance: Creamy with a very faint pinkish/brown tinge. Thick legs. Aroma: Nutmeg, fresh-baked cinnamon rolls, a hint 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 creamy, but not at all cloying or oily. The palate fades fast and it's very addictive. This is a cross between an herbal and a nut liqueur with a creamy texture that comes 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 mix of baking spices and rum and served ice cold on the rocks. It's a successful pseudo-dairy liqueur which is suitable for those who are lactose and/or gluten intolerant. The nut-meal milk texture makes it thick and satisfying but also crisp and refreshing, without the fatty cloyingness of milk. If you like “Coole Swan” white chocolate liqueur or "Rumchata" then give this a try – it’s a relatively similar profile. Also, please note, this product was first marketed as “Licor 43 Orochata” but after disappearing for a short time it re-emerged under this new name. The packaging is virtually identical and the liqueur itself is the same, as far as I can tell. Mrs Cascode loves this and was delighted to see it return to the liquor market shelves. "Good" : 83/100 (3.25 stars)
40.0 AUD per Bottle

    Licor 43 has a take on horchata?...
