Aromas and flavors of elderflower, Osmanthus flowers, basil and fennel, and peach and sage with a glycerous, vibrant, off-dry medium body and a refreshing, medium-length finish manifesting notes of elderflower, sweetened jasmine tea, leather and herbs, and citrus and bergamot.

Floral Liqueur

Floral liqueur includes those liqueurs made from flowers such as lavender, geranium, violets and elder flowers. They tend to be quite elegant with floral and light spice notes. The best are well balanced with subtle flavors and work well in summer cocktails.
