Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao
Very dry, bitter, lots of notes from the peel of the orange. It almost smells chocolatey. 6/10 but super important behind a bar.
Hey, it's been a minute + Jägermeister notes
Jägermeister Review The nose is very nostalgic, there's a strong note in there that reminds me of good root beer. I'm also picking up what I perceive as mustard seed, it does smell more sweet than bitter, I find the smell very comforting. Mouth feel is thinner than I was expecting, high sugar content often means syrupy mouth feel, especially with lots of herb oils. But pleasantly thin mouth feel. Lots of sugar when it first hits my tongue. The first flavor I distinguish is a bitter cough medicine note, but it doesn't linger. Follows with a root-vegetable note, followed by a fresher woody note, like a birch note. I get a cherry in there somewhere, and a late candied orange peel perhaps. Beautiful complexity, absolutely dances around your mouth. Frankly I was terrified of trying J ägermeister with it's reputation as being a bitter herbal spirit that college students drink while disliking. But it's really lovely, like, I might try it with sparkling water ...
