Deep amber color; creamy texture; lush and sweet with lovely bitter Curacao orange peel and soft, elegant cognac; smooth and harmonious with luscious flavors and a hint of pepper and vanilla; exquisite.

New to the U.S. market in 2012, this “dry” Curaçao is intriguing and should work well as a sophisticated sweetener alongside bitter-edged spirits and darker, biting spirits like rye whiskey. While not precisely dry, this golden liqueur has its vanilla sweetness tempered by a wash of bitter orange. The scent is rich and agave-like, with a touch of mezcal-like funkiness.

Wine Enthusiast Top 50 Spirits of 2012 Pretty golden amber color. Layered aromas of of orange cake and taffy, vanilla custard, and delicate spice with a supple fruity sweet medium-to-full body and a long, warming candied orange peel, creme Anglaise and peppery spice finish. Delicious and elegantly balanced.
