Cointreau (70cl, 40%)

Cointreau is a French orange liqueur made by Maison Cointreau in Saint-Barthélemy-d'Anjou. Founded in 1849 by brothers Adolphe and Edouard-Jean Cointreau, it is made from a balanced mixture of sweet and bitter orange peels from Brazil, Spain and Haiti. The recipe has not changed since its introduction. It is bottled at 40% alcohol in a 70cl bottle. On the nose, intense orange aroma with balanced sweet and bitter notes. On the palate, fresh and elegant, with precise citrus aromatics accompanied by subtle bitterness. The finish is long and pleasant, with a slightly sweet note highlighting orange aromas.
