Zirbenz Stone Pine Liqueur
by admin on Jun.23, 2007, under herbal liqueur, liqueur, spirit
Background: Artisinal liqueur made in Austria from fresh-picked Arolla Stone Pine fruits. Distiller's notes for each batch used to be available from Zirbenz.com, but that functionality appears to be temporarily unavailable. Regardless, my bottle is numbered 12-06-A03-911.
Nose: Peppery pine with some floral notes.
Taste: Lightly sweet, rich pine flavour with spice and herbal notes. Long, spicy finish.
(Drip, drip, drip.)
Nose: Still pine.
Taste: Fruitier, with cinnamon notes.
Overall: Like drinking a Christmas tree. I like it, but it's probably not for everyone. Basically, if that sounds like something you would like you'll probably enjoy it.
