What Our Editors Thought

“Strong aroma with a bit of anise, fennel, and spearmint. Full yet spicy in the sip as the bitter herbs steal the show with amaro-like aplomb.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Intense aroma of green cardamom, fennel, coriander, and horchata. Medium-bodied and sweet with caramelized honey that blends with a still spicy, but much less intense, taste. Surprising bitterness helps cut the sweetness. Warm, but not boozy. Finish is pleasant and balanced, and the body is interestingly soft.”

What the Brewers Say

“A spiced winter warmer.”
