Zuidam Speculaas Liqueur (70cl, 22%)

A traditional Dutch liqueur from Zuidam Distillers, built on a secret family recipe. Cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger and Bourbon vanilla are joined by green cardamom seeds and white pepper, with the spices steeped in alcohol. No added fragrance, colour or flavouring agents are used. The distillery is family-run in Baarle-Nassau, Netherlands, with a history dating back to 1975, and the second generation now runs the business. The nose recalls speculaas fresh from the oven. On the palate, spicy cinnamon leads, with cloves, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, white pepper and vanilla forming a full, warming flavour. The finish is soft and sweet.
