Liqueur Notes: Rhum Clément Creole Shrubb Curacao Orange Liqueur |
|
Filed under: Lush Life, Carribean, Rum, Raves & Reviews, Trends, New Products, Spirits, Liquor Cabinet  Rhum Clément Creole Shrubb liqueur is 40%abv. / 80 proof. It is a Curacao orange liqueur produced and estate bottled at Habitation Clément in Martinique, and it has only recently become available in the US.
It has a medium light body to it and is a light orange gold in color. The aroma is an intoxicating blend of Curacao orange peels and musky Rhum Agricole, with a touch of exotic tropical spices.
The taste is much less sweet than similar orange liqueurs and very smooth on your tongue. It has a deliciously sharp and slightly bitter orange zest flavor that wakes up your palate immediately. I find that there is a complex, and quite different orange flavor than I have experienced with other orange liqueurs. It is tart and tangy, as well as full and round. The bitter orange is balanced nicely with the sweetness from pure, freshly crushed, sugar cane syrup and a sprinkle of Caribbean spices. The whole liqueur is carried on a solid base of fine, dry, wood aged rum. It has an extraordinarily long finish, rich with the essence of orange, rum, wood tannins, and just the barest hint of spice that lasts and lasts.
Creole Shrubb is one of the most enjoyable liqueurs I have ever experienced. I hope you get the chance to as well.Continue reading Liqueur Notes: Rhum Clément Creole Shrubb Curacao Orange Liqueur Permalink | Email this | Comments
