Guaro Aguardiente

Category: Aguardiente

Date Tasted:
Country: Colombia
Alcohol: 29%
Clear color. Spicy aromas and flavors of black licorice, anisette cookie, and cooked basil with a silky, bright, dryish light body and a tingling, easy finish that exhibits touches of anise candy coating and fennel and radish. A clean and balanced lower-proof aguardiente with a nice level of anise flavor; try in a low ABV Sazerac.

Aguardiente is a generic term for a distilled sprit that contains between 29% to 60% alcohol. It is a term most often used in Spanish speaking countries; the word comes from the Spanish words aqua (water) and ardiente (fiery).

Some countries do use the term for a local distilled product, as is the case in Ecuador, where it is a beverage distilled from sugarcane or in Chile, where it is a product similar to grappa, as the skins and pulp of grapes are distilled.

Aguardiente is the national beverage of Colombia, where it is served in small shot glasses after dinner or sometimes used as the base for an aguardiente sour, which is mixed with orange and lime juice.
