Tasting Notes

• Colour: Giffard Orange Curaçao boasts a beautiful, clear orange hue. When held up to the light, it reveals a vibrant depth of colour, hinting at the intense orange flavours within.
• Aroma: As you raise the glass to your nose, a burst of fresh, zesty orange peel immediately fills your senses. The aroma is clean and uplifting, with a touch of sweetness that is balanced by a subtle hint of bitterness from the peels.
• Palate: The first sip delivers a wave of juicy orange flavour that floods the mouth. The liqueur is surprisingly smooth and well-rounded, with a delightful balance between sweetness and a gentle bitterness. The bitterness is not overpowering but adds a complexity that prevents the liqueur from being overly cloying. Hints of Cognac (used in the production process) peek through subtly, adding a touch of warmth and depth to the overall flavour profile.
• Finish: The finish is clean and refreshing, with the orange flavours lingering pleasantly on the tongue. The bitterness lingers slightly, adding a touch of complexity and preventing the aftertaste from being overly sweet.
