Ettaler Kloster Liqueur Gelb

Color: Pale straw. Aroma: Orange, lemon, subtle herbal notes. Flavor & Texture: Sweet and entirely focused on citrus flavors. The texture is full. This is an unusual liqueur that is very citrus-forward but completely unlike triple sec or any orange liqueur you've encountered. There's significant herbal complexity behind it, and in some ways, it's reminiscent of limoncello. It's very sweet but not overwhelmingly so. This bears a slight resemblance to the Ettaler Grun liqueur I reviewed before but lacks the fresh, floral spearmint notes and instead enhances the citrus qualities and more robust seed-spices. I'm giving it the same rating. This came from a pack of 5 liqueur miniatures purchased from Ettal Benedictine monastery in Bavaria. “Good”: 83/100 (3.5 stars)
