Ciroc Amaretto Vodka (75cl, 35%)

Ciroc Amaretto is a French vodka infused with amaretto flavour, not an amaretto liqueur. It is distilled five times from fine French grapes in an eau de vie style, and the light fruitiness of that base gives the almond flavour something to sit against. The profile runs to sweet almond and marzipan, with soft vanilla warmth, nutty confectionery sweetness and a touch of stone fruit, finishing smooth and warming rather than cloying. Bottled at 35% ABV, it matches the standard Ciroc flavoured strength and suits serving over ice, mixing with cola or coffee, pouring into hot chocolate, or using where an amaretto sour would normally go.
