TASTING NOTES
An incomparable balance of zesty, fruity, floral, and spicy notes, with a sublime, long and fresh finish.
Colour – Cointreau is perfectly colourless and characterized by its total transparency and remarkable brightness. The opalescence is the proof of the high oranges peel essences concentration.
Aroma – It releases pronounced aromas which are both refined and complex; the result of a marriage of zesty bitter oranges notes combined with the freshness of lemon and 7 vegetal notes with a hint of nutmeg and cardamom. These are followed by the fruity, rounded, soft notes of sweet oranges with a touch of candied fruit and vanilla.
Palate – Orange, vanilla, bitter, dry.
