Pisang Ambon Liqueur 100 cl 17%

The signal-green colour in the glass is unmistakable - Pisang Ambon has stood on bar shelves since 1948, carried by a recipe that travelled from Indonesia's banana groves to the Dutch house of Bols.

Expert's Description

Pisang Ambon is a Dutch banana liqueur at 17% ABV from the house of Bols, made following a traditional Indonesian recipe that Bols has produced since 1948.

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.

Taste

The taste is sweet and full-bodied with ripe bananas, a soft, tropical character and a light herbal undertone that adds depth without overtaking the banana sweetness.
