HOW TO SERVE
Serve as an after dinner drink or in a shot. A Hanky Panky cocktail would be nice with this substitution. Good over a large cube of ice as well.
X-FACTOR
The wonderfully intense bitter flavors are exceptionally balanced — beautiful.
TASTING NOTE
Bright, medium orange color. The aromatics are very intense, offering aromas of gingerbread, oak, and baking spices with supporting notes of chalk, eucalyptus, and orange peel. The palate is more intense than the nose delivering a dried fruits-driven core with supporting flavors of mint, forest floor, candied ginger, and black tea. The finish is long and lingering. Medium-bodied and favorably balanced with a silky texture.
