Cotswolds Distillery creates whisky liqueur

English producer The Cotswolds Distillery has unveiled the first expression in its new range of amaro-inspired whisky-based liqueurs.

15/05/2020

According to The Spirits Business,  Cotswolds Amaro No 1 is the first in the new Cotswolds Amaro Whisky Liqueurs range and is made with the distillery’s flagship single malt and a blend of botanicals including vanilla, citrus and spice.

The new liqueur is described as having pronounced herbal and floral notes. The nose brings hints of peach with bitter black tea and orange citrus fruit. While the palate is “thick and creamy” with vanilla and bitter marmalade notes, and floral with a hint of spiced honey.

The range is inspired by Italian herbal liqueur amaro, which is usually enjoyed as an after-dinner drink. According to the distillery, amaro (Italian for ‘bitter’) is traditionally produced by macerating herbs, roots, flowers, bark and citrus elements in either spirit or wine (or sometimes both), before being sweetened with caramel or sugar. It also has a typical alcohol content of between 16% and 40%.
