Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of candied orange in caramel sauce, ginger and cinnamon waffle, and burnt honey with a round, crisp, moderately sweet medium body and an appealing, medium-to-long finish with shades of orange creme brulee, ripe cantaloupe, earl grey tea, and green papaya. A tasty digestif or high quality cocktail modifier.

Flavored Brandy Liqueur

Flavored Brandy Liqueurs are liqueurs using either Cognac or Brandy as a base and flavored mostly commonly with orange–like in the most famous example, Grand Marnier–or other flavorings such as vanilla or coffee and then sweetened with sugar. These should not be confused with Fruit-Flavored Brandies, which are grape Brandies that have been flavored with the extract of another fruit and are much drier.
