Cognac meets bitter orange in a bottle that has defined what a French orange liqueur can be since 1880 - Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge is the classic itself.

Ekspertens beskrivelse

Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge is a French orange liqueur uniting cognac with distilled bitter orange essence, bottled at 40% ABV.

The liqueur was created in 1880 by Alexandre Marnier-Lapostolle as the first of its kind to unite cognac and bitter orange. Grand Marnier is still made today according to the original recipe, blending fine cognacs with the essence of bitter orange peel, which gives the liqueur its characteristic red bottle and the name Cordon Rouge ("red ribbon").

Smag

The aroma is rich with distinct orange notes complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and oak from the mature cognacs. The taste opens with an intense, fresh, bitter orange character followed by the cognac's warm, deep tones, while a full, silky texture with underlying notes of hazelnut and caramel gives a long, lingering finish.

In Greece, many dinners begin and end with a small glass that turns cloudy the moment water touches it. Ouzo 12 is one of the best-selling anise spirits in the country, and the name comes from a specific cask – barrel number 12 – that became the house's preferred style.

Expert's description

Ouzo 12 is a Greek anise liqueur, double-distilled from grape alcohol with anise, cardamom, cinnamon, coriander, and nutmeg, at 38% alcohol.

The story goes back to 1880, when the Kaloyannis brothers founded their distillery in Constantinople, present-day Istanbul. The family moved to Thessaloniki in 1925, and in 1950 the distillate found its way to Piraeus, where it was bottled for the first time – then in the distinctive carafe that later became the standard for ouzo bottles. The name Ouzo 12 comes from cask number 12, whose particular blend became the family's preferred style after a series of experiments. Since 2005, Ouzo 12 has been distilled and produced at the Koutsikos distillery in Volos, central Greece.

Taste

The taste is dominated by anise, with underlying spice notes of cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg, giving it a warm, aromatic character. Mixed with water, the drink turns cloudy and milder, while the spice notes come through more clearly.

Did you know?

Ouzo changes colour from clear to a whitish cloud when mixed with water – a phenomenon known as the "louche effect", caused by the anise oil, which is not soluble in water. Read more about the brand on Ouzo 12's official website ouzo12.com.

Créole Shrubb is the house's take on an old Martinique tradition, where bitter orange peel is left to steep in rum for a full year, not just a couple of weeks.

Expert Description

Clément Créole Shrubb D'Orange is a Martinique Rum Liqueur flavoured with orange peel and bottled at 40%.

The base is a blend of young and six-year-old cask-aged rhum agricole from Habitation Clément, which is combined and then aged with orange peels in 250-litre oak casks for a full year. That's an unusually long maceration period for a shrubb liqueur, giving the orange aromas time to penetrate deep into the rum before the blend is sweetened with natural cane syrup and bottled.

The result is a liqueur where both the bitter and sweet sides of the orange come through, supported by a distinct spice profile from the long cask ageing.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Orange peel and acacia honey, with a hint of white pepper and green, herbal cane.

Palate

Rich orange and mandarin peel with white chocolate, vanilla and honey, carried by an enlivening black pepper.

Finish

Long, citrus-filled finish with herbal rum and a light hint of white pepper.

Three ingredients, one goal: capturing the taste of a fresh, young coconut on Martinique. Mahina Coco deliberately keeps it simple, where many other coconut liqueurs reach for artificial flavourings.

Expert Description

Clément Mahina Coco is a Martinique Coconut Rum Liqueur made from young coconuts, rum and cane syrup, bottled at 18%.

The liqueur from Habitation Clément is built on just three ingredients: fresh, unripe coconut, the house's own rhum agricole and natural cane syrup. This minimalist approach stands in contrast to many international coconut liqueurs, which often use added flavourings to achieve a strong coconut taste. The name Mahina is Polynesian for "moon", a reference to the round, white coconut and to Martinique's tropical, island-inspired mood.

The result is a round, natural coconut liqueur where the agricole-based rum can still be traced as a light, herbal undertone.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Strong, fresh coconut with tones of toasted coconut and freshly cut grass.

Palate

Round and sweet with roasted nuts and sweet, fresh coconut flesh, balanced by a light acidity.

Finish

Lingering with shredded coconut and a peppery hint from the underlying rum.

The liqueur is known for its vivid green colour and sweet, ripe banana flavour, and its name comes from the Indonesian word "pisang" (banana) and the island of Ambon. It is made to work across a wide range of drinks, where it adds both colour and a round, tropical banana sweetness.

Brazil is the homeland of sugar cane. Miles of green fields, heavy heat and a tradition of pressing the juice fresh instead of boiling it down to molasses. This is where this bottle comes from - named after a man who would rather fly than stay on the ground.

Expert description

Santos Dumont XO Elixir is a Brazilian Rum Liqueur built on Santos Dumont XO Rum aged in Bourbon casks, PX Sherry casks and Port casks and bottled at 40%.

The base rum is distilled from freshly pressed sugar cane juice - not molasses - in old pot stills. Then comes the ageing, and it happens in three stages. Bourbon casks of American white oak lay down vanilla and a dry peppery edge. PX Sherry casks pull honey and ripe dark fruit into the rum. Port casks round it off with sweetness and a light tannin.

Once the rum is finished, local herbs and a measured amount of cane honey are added. That is the step that turns Elixir into Elixir. The result is not a dry rum you analyse your way through, and it does not try to be. The label says Elixir, and that is exactly what is in the glass: thick, amber and sweet, with beautiful legs down the glass. Bottling happens in small batches under Old St. Croix Spirits ApS in Dragør, which is also behind A.H. Riise.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Banana and coconut first, then ripe fruit and a nutty note of apricot kernel. Honey sits underneath it all, and after a little time in the glass, vanilla and candied orange emerge.

Palate

Sweet and full-bodied. Honey and fermented fruit carry the palate, with caramel, coconut and raisin in the background. There is a light tingle on the tongue that keeps the sweetness from turning flat.

Finish

Warm and long. Honey and dried fruit, a touch of cinnamon and oak spice at the very end.
