Terra Verde XO Original Spirit Drink 70 cl 40%

Where Cask Strength and XOS represent the extremes of Terra Verde's range, XO Original is the starting point - the recipe everything else builds on.

Expert Description

Terra Verde XO Original is a Dominican sugarcane spirit (Spirit Drink) aged up to 6 years in bourbon casks and bottled at 40%.

XO Original is the cornerstone of Terra Verde's XO series and the edition where the distillery's style comes through most clearly, without extra twists like chocolate or added cask strength. The spirit is distilled from locally grown sugarcane juice near San Pedro de Macorís and aged for up to 6 years in bourbon casks, giving it a balanced sweetness and body.

Like the rest of the range, it is produced by A Clean Spirit with a focus on sustainability, including self-sufficiency in green energy and recycling of production biomass.
