Amber. Strawberries, custard, and muscat grapes in the nose. Opens quickly with orange peel and muscat flavors. Follows with some heat. Some tannins lead to a short finish. Astringent heat remains for some time. Rather fat/flat, with little acidity until the unbalanced burn at the end. Drink on the rocks or with club soda. Tasted 5/9/2007.

Description


Wine distillates of at least five years old provide this blend with its characteristically smooth, aged fruity taste, perfectly complemented by its dark honey color.

From the manufacturer's website.

This Greek brandy is blended with muscat wine along with a secret herbal blend and select botanicals. It is quite different than straight brandy.
