Licor 43 Caramel Cookie Liqueur (75cl, 16%)

A non-dairy Spanish liqueur from Cartagena in Murcia, bottled at 16% ABV. It layers butterscotch, toasted biscuit and vanilla over a base of 43 natural ingredients, including citrus fruits, vanilla and aromatic herbs and spices. Production includes resting in stainless steel tanks for six to nine months, cold treatment at -5°C for five days and micro-filtration. It is a spirit-based liqueur rather than a cream liqueur, giving a cleaner texture and longer shelf life. The aroma opens with rich butterscotch and toasted brown sugar, then warm baked biscuit and vanilla. The palate is silky, with buttery shortbread, caramel drizzle, spiced cookie dough and vanilla bean. The finish is long, with buttery caramel, cinnamon and golden sugar.
