"Pale straw emerald color. Fresh cut ginger and lemongrass aromas follow through on a satiny, supple entry to a moderately sweet and peppery medium-to-full body with great crystallized ginger notes and delicate eucalyptus honey sweetness. Finishes with a long, peppery ginger and sugar cane fade. Superb and very mixable ginger flavor."

"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.

"Vanilla pudding, marshmallow, and toasted nut aromas follow through on a supple, satiny entry to a glycerous medium-full body with a touch of pepper and wet stone minerality. Finishes with tingling golden marshmallow and peppery spice fade. Will be very good for mixing."

"Rich ruby red hue. Sweet raspberry jam aromas follow faithfully on the thick, sweet, somewhat syrupy palate. This would be outstanding over vanilla ice cream, or as a dessert in itself."

"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."

"Attractive foggy pink/rose color. The bouquet is highly perfumed with intense fragrances of orange peel, passionfruit and mango pulp, with a backnote of spice. Entry is lusciously tart and fruity, displaying an ideal balance between the alcohol base, acidity, and fruit. Finishes impeccably balanced, clean and juicy. Bravo!" 96-100 pts.

"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.
