Sometimes a rum liqueur should not be overthought. Companero Elixir Orange is made to pour a touch of Caribbean sun into the glass, no fuss involved.

Expert description

Companero Elixir Orange is a Rum Liqueur from Trinidad, flavoured with orange and bottled at 40%.

The liqueur is part of the Companero series from the Danish independent bottler 1423, which has sourced rum from around the world for its headquarters in Ringe since 2008. Here, rum from Trinidad is used as the base and then refined with orange and a touch of sweetness, resulting in a light, fresh liqueur rather than a heavy digestif. This bottle is a 5cl miniature.
