96-100 points Wine Enthusiast: "The seductive bouquet offers wonderfully floral, fruity, guava- and melon-like fragrances of elderflower, becoming richly pear- and quince-like following aeration time. The palate entry is soft and firm; the midpalate is integrated, harmonious and exquisitely balanced between alcohol level, sweetness, acidity and floral impact. A perfect liqueur. *Best Buy* (PP)" (04/2008) K&L Notes: Double Gold Medal at the 2007 and 2008 San Francisco World Spirits Competition! St. Germain is an artisanal French liqueur made from hand-p...

90-95 points Wine Enthusiast: "The bouquet is lovely, balanced, properly astringent, ripe and juicy with scents of cherry stone and cherry juice. The palate entry is decadently sweet and textured with vibrant tastes of cherry compote and cherry preserves at midpalate. The finish is svelte, moderately syrupy and downright delicious. An outstanding liqueur: use it in an Aviation Cocktail." (12/2007) K&L Notes: This classic ingredient is a must-have for every serious cocktail bar. If you don't keep Luxardo in your home bar, you're missing the chance to re...

93 points Wine Enthusiast: "New to the U.S. market in 2012, this 'dry' Curaçao is intriguing and should work well as a sophisticated sweetener alongside bitter-edged spirits and darker, biting spirits like rye whiskey. While not precisely dry, this golden liqueur has its vanilla sweetness tempered by a wash of bitter orange. The scent is rich and agave-like, with a touch of mezcal-like funkiness. (KN)" (02/2012) K&L Notes: Designed by renowned cocktailian David Wondrich, this is perhaps the finest orange liqueur available for mixing. Try it in a Sideca...

96-100 points Wine Enthusiast: "The perfect crème de cassis bouquet features concentrated black currant skin aromas and extreme tannic acid. Palate entry is super tannic and astringent and focused on the black currant juice and skins; the midpalate is perfectly balanced between the ripe fruit, acid, tannin and sweet tartness. Concludes thick, incredibly tart and astringent, and utterly luscious. A crème de cassis beauty. (PP)" (04/2009) K&L Notes: Harvested from the hills around the grand cru of Nuit-St-George, the finest fruit is collected from grower...

90-95 points Wine Enthusiast: "The first aromatic blast is seductively anise-like, then it mellows, turning softer, more herbal, and plumper. At palate entry the intensely bitter taste of anise both enlivens and cleanses the palate; at midpalate the pleasant sting of alcohol and the zest of rooty/woodsy botanicals make for memorable imbibing. Finishes elegant and smooth." (10/2005) K&L Notes: While the prohibition of absinthe in 1915 put a damper on wormwood spirits, it created a market for anise-flavored liqueurs like Ricard. With its characteristic l...

93 points Wine Enthusiast: "Deep purple-brown in the glass, the aroma mixes jammy cherry and raspberry with eucalyptus. The palate walks the line between lightly sweet and lightly bitter, mingling herbaceous root beer notes with faint but refreshing mint and a mildly bitter edge. Recommended as a digestif or for cocktail mixing (i.e. Negroni-style drinks).

92 points Wine Enthusiast: "Look for rich, mildly sweet cocoa, sarsaparilla and espresso notes, with spearmint building into a cooling finish reminiscent of mint-chocolate Girl Scout cookies. Not too bitter, this is a pleasant sipper. (KN)" (04/2016) K&L Notes: Producers notes: An infusion of alcohol, bitter orange, peppermint and the roots of the alpine yellow gentian. Tasting Notes: Amaro Nardini is a smooth digestive liqueur with a distinct licorice aftertaste. It has a well-balanced, herbal and fruity taste, with an intense chocolate brown color. A...

90 points Wine Enthusiast: "Inky dark brown in the glass, this liqueur suggests strong espresso in look, aroma and taste. Inspired by New Orleans-style coffee and made with French chicory root, vanilla and cane sugar, this liqueur has a robust, long-lasting coffee flavor with restrained sweetness, showing dark chocolate and a flicker of bitter edge on the exit.

92 points Wine Enthusiast: "Nuanced and palate-cleansing, look for a mild, savory scent and bracing notes of dill, fennel seed and pine, plus a brisk, zingy finish that suggests caraway-seeded rye bread. Pair this refreshing sip with herring or other savory bites. (KN)" (11/2016) K&L Notes: Brennivin is Iceland's most classic tipple. The stark black label and intense flavor have given rise to the nickname "Black Death," but the traditional Icelandic "schnapps" is all about celebrating life! Distilled from grain and flavored with caraway, it does not ha...

93 points Wine Enthusiast: "Grand Marnier—or 'GrandMa,' as some cocktail geeks gleefully shorthand it—remains one of the classics. Although it’s Cognac-based, it’s a versatile match for other spirits, too. The liqueur is extremely aromatic, with lots of sweet and bitter orange notes exploding out of the glass. Look for a warm, honeyed flavor and a nice burst of orange peel and spicy cinnamon and ginger on the long finish. (KN)" (02/2012) K&L Notes: The original. Grand Marnier was created in 1880 by Louis-Alexandre Marnier Lapostolle (and the Lapostolle...

90-95 points Wine Enthusiast: "The vibrant, bittersweet bouquet is citrusy, herbal, floral and earthy. The palate entry is bittersweet, intensely herbal and earthy but refreshingly orange citrusy; the tasty mid-palate is marked by heightened sweetness and a more mineral-like core flavor. Finish is savory and bittersweet. *Best Buy*" (12/2006) K&L Notes: According to a highly trusted source, this is the closest available substitute for the old incarnation of Amer Picon.

95 points Wine Enthusiast: "Stored in former Sherry casks, this aquavit famously takes a sea voyage across the world, sailing to Australia and back, crossing the equator or 'linie' twice. The end result is a bright buttercup hue and mellow vanilla, spearmint, clove and oak tones, plus a silky butterscotch finish. *Top 100 Spirits of 2016* (KN)" (12/2016) K&L Notes: "One of the finest Aquavit available.

96-100 points Wine Enthusiast: "The nosing passes find layers of aromas of honey, heather, pine needle, thyme and salty single malt Scotch whisky. Entry is thick, gently sweet but balanced by a fierce herbal quality; midpalate focuses on the whisky while the various herbs, spices and honey make merry around their whisky core. One of the best liqueurs available." (05/2008) K&L Notes: The classic Scotch whisky liqueur. Make yourself a rusty nail - one of the easiest and most delicious cocktails on the planet.

91 points Wine Enthusiast: "Though it's made with ancho chiles, this liqueur is modest on the spice scale. Caramel-y brown in the glass, look for a lightly herbaceous aroma similar to root beer and rounded flavors that mix caramel and cocoa with raisin and cinnamon heat, with a faint smokiness on the finish. Particularly harmonious mixed in cocktails with brown spirits like whiskey.

***Five Stars/Highest Recommendation - The Spirit Journal*** Known for their Absinthe, Tempus Fugit has made waves over last year releasing the exceptional (albeit controversial) Gran Classico and the lovely Tempus Fugit Liqueur de Violette. Their new Crème de Cacao is out of this world. Few things have bothered me more than the subpar Crème de Cacaos I've tasted in the past, but this stuff is awesome. Based on a 19th century recipe, the Tempus Fugit folks have gone so far as to replicate the original cacao and vanilla sources from Venezuela and Mexic...

94 points Wine Enthusiast: "Inspired by the heritage of founder Jackie Summers' grandparents, who emigrated from Barbados to NYC, and relaunched in 2021, this liqueur has a bright ruby hue and cinnamon-spiced aroma. On the palate, the light-bodied liquid opens with a light floral note – hibiscus is a key ingredient – giving way to baking spice and a final dried cherry exhale. It's reminiscent of mulled wine; serve warm or chilled. (KN)" (11/2022) K&L Notes: Jackie Summers' Sorel is a relatively recent spirit offering that's been about three decades in ...

A treat with tequila. *Top 100 Spirits of 2018* (KN)" (10/2018) K&L Notes: This wonderful concoction from Kurt Charron captures the essence of California's natural wonders and puts them right in your glass.

95 points Wine Enthusiast: "Made with Venezuelan cacao and Mexican vanilla, this complex take on a staple liqueur is ruddy in the glass and flavorful with cocoa powder, almond, vanilla and a touch of hazelnut richness on the long finish.

Based on a 19th-century recipe. *Top 100 Spirits of 2016* (KN)" (02/2016) K&L Notes: Another exemplary effort from Tempus Fugit.

It’s enjoyable to sip straight up with a twist of lemon peel, or lightened with a splash of club soda.
