"Bright copper color. Deep aromas of chocolate pecan turtles, cashew butter, olive, and brown spices follow though on a soft, supple entry to a dryish medium-to-full body with anise seed, pink peppercorn, and nutskin notes. Finishes with a creamy vanilla, talc, and peppery spice fade. A rich, elegant whisky." (1999 reviewed.)

"The snappy, zesty bouquet is clean, tart and refreshing, then in the latter stages the astringent presence of lemon peel really comes alive. Palate entry is like lemon drop hard candy, sweet but pleasantly tart; by midpalate, the tartness accelerates becoming more astringent and refreshing with every sip. One of the best limoncellos to come my way in a year or two. Best Buy." 90-95 pts.

"Sophisticated and delightful aromas of tangerine and rhubarb. The palate entry is delightfully citrusy and sweet; the midpalate phase offers just enough herbal bitterness to balance. Ends up refreshing, orangey sweet and delectably herbal. This deserves to become a popular pre-dinner quaff." 90-95 pts.
