93 – Exceptional - Spicy Ginger Cello Liqueur

Cloudy golden green color with gray blue cast. Fresh peeled ginger and honeyed lemon peel aromas follow through on a soft, satiny entry leads to a round, fruity-yet-dry medium body with delicate balanced and a touch of peppery spice. Finishes with a long, crystallized ginger and lemon sorbet fade. Will make a superb cocktail ingredient.

92 – Exceptional - Lemongrass Cello Liqueur

Clear silvery straw color. Interesting aromas of lemongrass, green peppercorns, and lemon curd follow through on a soft, silky entry to a delicate mildly sweet medium body with accents of melon sorbet and dried wildflowers. Finishes with a grassy, honey and lemon tea-like fade. An interesting, subtle liqueur for artisan cocktails or Asian cooking.

91 – Exceptional - Lavender Cello Liqueur

Hazy pale green silver straw color. Interesting aromas of lemon pulp, prickly pear, and lavender follow through on a very soft, smooth entry to a silky, fruity-yet-dry medium-to-full body with notes of melon sorbet and lemon oil. Finishes with a dry, mineral accented fade with lingering wisps of dried lemon zest and floral talc. Nice purity and gracefulness.

86 – Highly recommended - Tangerine Cello Liqueur

Cloudy yellow gold color. Bright, fresh cut tangerine and candied lemon peel aromas follow through on a round, supple, viscous entry to a fruity, moderately sweet medium-full body with creamy tangerine custard, orange oil, and peppery spice notes. Finishes with a pleasant, warming citrus, wet stone, and white pepper fade. Pure tangerine flavor and nicely balanced for subtle appeal in crafty cocktails.
