THE KING'S GINGER LIQUEUR Holland |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
Berry Bros. & Rudd) |
Medium gold colour. Intense, attractive, sweet, spicy, candied, ginger nose. Sweet, medium bodied, gently viscous, very spicy, intense, ginger flavours with a lingering, vanilla-caramel finish. It's made in the Netherlands by macerating ginger root in a high strength spirit and adding lemon oil for an uplifting fresh citrus note. Wow, even better than when it last appeared in Vintages (***) on January 18, 2014 at $44.95 and was an Explorer Selection. |

TASTING NOTE: This liqueur was originally commissioned in 1903 by the Royal Physician to stimulate and revivify His Majesty King Edward VII when he was exposed to the elements on morning rides in his new horseless carriage. King Edward's greatest passions were fine wining and dining, the very best cigars and the company of beautiful ladies. It's made in the Netherlands by Berry Bros. & Rudd, by macerating ginger root in a high strength spirit and adding lemon oil for an uplifting fresh citrus note. Strong (41 per cent alcohol) and sweet, but not too, it's full of spicy ginger flavours enhanced by lemon peel elements. If you like candied ginger, you'll love this. Great paired with chocolate or added to whisky, mulled wine or hot apple cider for a lovely winter warmer. Score - 91 (Margaret Swaine, winealign.com, Feb. 2013) |
