"The bouquet smells enticingly of agave, flowers, and citrus rind. The palate entry features tastes of honey, Tequila, black pepper and citrus. Finishes cleanly, with delicately sweet notes of honey and sap." 90-95 pts.

"Cherry-red color. Nose is snappy and expectedly bitter in a woodsy, earthy, quinine-like way. Palate entry is mild in a sweet-sour fruity manner; midpalate is sweet and only moderately bitter. Finishes long and mildly quinine-like. While I’m not a bitters aficionado (more a bitter aficionado, really), Campari and orange do positively click. I’m savvy enough to know when not to argue with 58 million Italians." 80-84 pts.

"Sweet, cinnamon, medicinal bark, ginger, and cola nut aromas. A round entry leads to a bitter medium-to full-bodied palate with sharp and over-extracted medicinal herb and bark flavors, cinnamon and spice with a touch of flowery honey and spice. Finishes with a long bitter bark-like fade. A rather austere, but pure European digestif liqueur. Try super-chilled as a beer chaser."

"Brilliant burnish amber color. Aromas of honey, chocolate drizzled dried orange peels, wildflowers, and nutty whisky follow through on a gentle entry to a moderately sweet and viscous medium-full body with buckwheat pancake, rye cracker, and peppery spice accents. Finishes with a nice malty breath of whisky and mossy wet stone minerality. A supple, generous, and pleasurable after dinner treat." Gold Medal.

"Light marzipan and maraschino cherry aromas follow through on a soft, silky entry to a oily, mildly sweet medium body with almond oil and caramel accents. Finishes with a soft, gentle lightly peppery marzipan and mocha toffee fade. A clean well made amaretto that will mix very well."

"Multilayered aromas of mildly bitter almond meat and spice. Palate entry is delicate and lightly sweet, showcasing the almond. Aftertaste is long, creamy and sublime." 90-95 pts.

"Delicate, lightly honeyed and not overlysweet scents with a buttery/creamy quality. Palate entry is gooey, concentrated, chewy and numbingly sweet; the midpalate phase heightens the impressions of the entry. Aftertaste is scoop-out-with-spoon thick and tonsil-screamingly sweet." 85-89 pts.

"Aromas of sweet cream, roasted nuts, golden raisin, an delicate spice follow through on a supple, satiny entry to a moderately sweet medium body with nice balance and a fresh whipped cream and delicate wet stone fade. A very nicely crafted and balanced Irish cream liqueur."

"Deep aromas of peppermint leaf, chicory, unsweetened chocolate, forest flowers and herb jump from the glass and follow thorough on a supple entry to a dryish full body with layers of cocoa-mint, peppery spice, sandalwood, and bitter roots and medicinal herbs. Finishes with a long, polished wood, peppermint oil, nutshell and bitter root fade. A powerful digestif."
