LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

Total hedonism. It is unabashedly sweet, but the quality of the vanilla and citrus makes it impossible to dislike. It pairs with coffee better than almost any other spirit.

The Library Note

Legend has it that this liqueur dates back to Roman times, known as 'Liqvor Mirabilis'. The modern recipe, owned by the Zamora family in Cartagena, was perfected in 1946. It is the most popular liqueur in Spain, famously versatile and undeniably delicious.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Creamy vanilla, bright citrus, and subtle floral notes.

THE PALATE

Sweet and viscous. Dominant flavors of vanilla soft serve, orange peel, and honey.

THE FINISH

Long and sweet with a hint of cocoa.
