"First inhalations pick up nothing but sweet, beguiling ripe peach perfume; aeration expands the aroma by adding tarter scents of peach skin and pit. Palate entry is lean, tart and acidic yet ripe; the midpalate finds the acid underpinning gracefully balancing the sweet, peachy ripeness. Aftertaste is long, light-bodied and appropriately juicy." 90-95 pts.

"Deep amber-orange hue. Pungent spice and herb aromas. A smooth, mildly sweet attack leads to a medium-bodied, mildly viscous palate. Complex, lingering finish. Intense, warming and unique. A classic."

"Dark amber-brown. Sweet medicinal, spice aromas. Notably sweet and thick on the palate with complex herbs and cinnamon lingering. Quite clean through the finish for all the complex flavors present."

"The perfume of fresh pears is astounding. Palate entry is delicately sweet; the midpalate is ambrosial and shows a hint of tartness through all the ripe pulp. End is clean, fruity and fresh." 90-95 pts.

"The bouquet is mesmerizing with multiple layers of fragrances that include pine/cedar, quinine, fennel, white pepper, licorice, mace, allspice, sage and rosemary. An orange zest flavor appears at palate entry; midpalate finds exotic tastes of orange zest, tangerine zest, multiple herbs and spices, honey and pine. A fabulous liqueur." 96-100 pts.

"A sophisticated orange pulp bouquet which after aeration turns much more dry peel-like. The palate entry is intensely orange peel-like yet more sweet than bittersweet; the midpalate stage is deeply orangey, sweet and sublimely juicy. Finishes ideally citrusy/tart/astringent, then turns lithe and sweet. The benchmark for all orange flavored liqueurs/triple secs. State of the art." 96-100 pts.

"Bold electric green color with a chartreuse yellow rim. Vibrant candied honeydew melon aromas have a waxy edge and follow through to a round, satiny moderately sweet medium-to-full body of honeydew, custard, and delicate spice. Finishes with a gentle melon candy fade. Pleasant and quite mixable."
