Licor 43 Liqueur (75cl, 31%)

Licor 43 is a golden liqueur from Cartagena, Spain, made by the Zamora Company from a secret family recipe of 43 natural ingredients. Launched in 1946, it is produced only in Cartagena, where botanicals and Mediterranean citrus are macerated, fused in exact proportion, rested six to nine months in stainless steel, cold-treated and micro-filtered. The flavour gives Mediterranean citrus, coriander-led botanicals, ripe fruit and vanilla, with orange and lemon blossom over it all. Nose: lively Mediterranean citrus with orange and lemon blossom. Palate: sweet and smooth in layers, citrus first, then coriander and warm botanicals, then mature fruit and vanilla. Finish: golden and rounded, with a light citrus-peel edge keeping the sweetness in balance.
