PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur (75cl, 17%)

A pomegranate liqueur made with all-natural California pomegranate juice blended with premium vodka and a touch of imported tequila. Launched in 2006 by PAMA Spirits Co., a Heaven Hill subsidiary in Bardstown, Kentucky, it pours a vibrant ruby red. The juice's natural tannins give a fresh-juice mouthfeel rather than a syrupy one, with vodka keeping the fruit clean and only a whisper of tequila character behind it. On the nose there is fresh, ripe pomegranate. The palate has a delicate balance of sweet and tart, lightly cranberry-edged, with natural tannins keeping it fresh rather than syrupy. The finish is clean, fruity and lightly tart. It is bottled at 17% ABV in a 750 ml bottle.
