Terra Verde XOS Spirit Drink 70 cl 40%

Where A Midsummer Spirit is summer-light, XOS goes the other way and settles in heavy and sweet, like a dessert in bottle form.

Expert Description

Terra Verde XOS is a Dominican sugarcane spirit (Spirit Drink) aged for several years in bourbon casks and bottled at 40%.

XOS - Extra Old Sweet - represents the essence of Terra Verde's extra sweet, soft style. The spirit is distilled from locally grown sugarcane juice near San Pedro de Macorís and matures for years in bourbon casks, which draws out the sweetness and leaves a velvety, extra sweet finish. Like the rest of A Clean Spirit's range, XOS is produced with a focus on sustainability, both locally and globally.

The distillery is self-sufficient in green energy and recycles the biomass from production as natural fertiliser, in line with Terra Verde's philosophy of making a real difference.
