Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao 750ml Australia 18 months on the leesDavid Wondrich and the folks at Ferrand teamed up to re create a Curacao along the lines of what was available in the 19th century. "Ancienne Methode." Three separate distillations of spices. A blend of brandy, cognac and bitter curacao orange peels. 40% abv. Orange marmalade on the nose. Perfectly poised, exquisitely balanced. Nice interplay between sweet and snappy. Baking spice note kicks in on the finish.
