Blanco Del Valle Aguardiente (75cl, 29%)

Blanco Del Valle Aguardiente is Colombia's anise-flavored sugarcane spirit from Valle del Cauca. It is made by Industria de Licores del Valle, founded in 1921, and the current formulation carries 85% less sugar while keeping the traditional flavor. The spirit is clear and unaged, distilled from Valle del Cauca sugarcane and flavored with natural anise. It is bright and clear in the glass, with sweet sugarcane and aniseed on the nose and a whisper of alcohol. The palate is dry and smooth, anise-led with warm, tingling spice, and the finish is clean and persistent.
