Solerno - Blood Orange | Italian Liqueur

COLOR:
Brilliant, clear, on swirling makes a extremely light uniform coat on the glass that then very languidly starts to scallop on the meniscus/edgeline and then, eventually, very uniform legs. Blending of such disparate ingredients to a harmonious amalgamation doesn’t get much better than this.

NOSE:
Intensely and yet pleasantly strong aromatic citrus component -a playful blend of the blood orange and lemon with the alcohol component in background rather than foreground providing both structure and transmission through volatility of the citrus oils. This is in stark contrast to some other liqueurs who at the opposite end of achievement have somehow managed to combine muddied, disparate and cloying in their attempts at synthesis of bouquet and fragrance.

TASTE:
Sweet oily entry with light sweet candied, sucrose Taste (quite distinctive from cloying corn syrup), luscious citrus blending, with a tang and acidity from the skins of the citrus to provide a delicate balance and interplay that yield a drying acidic backbone that gradually plays out across the midline and back of the tongue like a drying sunrise evaporating dew.
