This detailed tasting note will guide you through the sensory experience of Krupnik Salted Caramel, exploring its aroma, flavour profile, and ideal serving suggestions.

Aroma:

Upon uncorking the bottle, a wave of enticing aromas greets your nose. The dominant scent is of rich, buttery caramel, reminiscent of decadent desserts. Hints of vanilla weave through the caramel, adding a touch of sweetness and complexity. A subtle earthiness lingers in the background, hinting at the natural ingredients used in this liqueur. Surprisingly, a delicate touch of salt emerges as you delve deeper, creating a unique intrigue that promises an exciting taste experience.

Flavour:

The first sip of Krupnik Salted Caramel delivers on the promise of its aroma. A wave of luxurious caramel floods the palate, with a smooth and creamy texture that coats the tongue. The sweetness is rich and decadent, yet never cloying. As the flavour develops, a hint of vanilla emerges, complementing the caramel and adding a touch of elegance.

Here's where the magic truly happens. A subtle sprinkle of salt makes its presence known on the mid-palate. This unexpected element is what elevates Krupnik Salted Caramel from a simple sweet liqueur to a captivating masterpiece. The salt doesn't overpower the sweetness, but rather enhances it, creating a delightful tension that keeps you coming back for more. It adds a depth and complexity to the flavour profile, making it truly unforgettable.

The finish is smooth and lingering, with the sweet caramel flavour gradually fading away, leaving behind a pleasant hint of salt on the tongue. The aftertaste is clean and refreshing, inviting another sip to fully appreciate the unique balance of flavours.
