Frangelico Liqueur (75cl, 20%)

Frangelico is an Italian hazelnut liqueur from Canale in Piedmont, made from the region's Tonda Gentile hazelnuts. The nuts are toasted, crushed, infused and distilled, then blended with coffee, cocoa and vanilla. It is bottled at 20% ABV in a friar-shaped bottle with a rope cincture, named for Fra' Angelico. In the glass it is pale gold, with toasted hazelnut, vanilla and dark chocolate on the nose. The palate is rich and lightly syrupy, with roasted hazelnut, vanilla, cocoa and a mocha touch, leading to a long, smooth, sweet finish.
