Senior & Co The Genuine Curaçao Liqueur Original Clear (75cl, 31%)

A clear Curaçao liqueur produced by the Senior family on the island of Curaçao since 1896, made from the dried peel of the lahara orange. The lahara is a descendant of the Valencia orange that adapted to Curaçao's dry, rocky soil, developing a uniquely bitter, intensely aromatic peel. Peels are cut with a wooden knife, sun-dried for five days, then cooked in a still with cane sugar alcohol and secret spices and herbs for three days, cooled, and distilled again over three more days. Each batch yields 55 gallons of base spirit, blended with water and roughly 400kg of sugar, then bottled on-site at the Landhuis Chobolobo estate in Willemstad. The Original Clear is the uncoloured base spirit before any natural colourant is added. Kosher certified.
